In 2001, a team of engineers at a then-obscure R&D company called AC Propulsion quietly began a groundbreaking experiment. The researchers estimated that, if applied to the task of generating electricity, all of the engines in the U.S. They wanted to see whether an electric vehicle could feed electricity back to the grid.

If your EV has 300 miles of range when fully juiced up, it can go about 240 miles with an 80% state of charge. If the 0-to-80% recharge time is 40 minutes, you can hit the road in less than half an hour, which is not too bad. Doing so maximizes your use of time. It’s a good idea that can help extend the battery life of your EV.
