Ford, in collaboration with the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), is undertaking a three-year test program on the Ford Escape PHEV designed to develop and evaluate technical approaches for integrating PHEVs into the electric grid. Ford’s current demonstration fleet of Escape PHEVs is using JCS Li-ion packs.

A control electrode, or grid, is situated close to the filament and is held at a negative potential in respect to it. As the voltage potential between the filament and grid is reduced, electrons are allowed to escape. These are accelerated from the filament to the anode by applying a high negative voltage to the filament.
