They wanted to see whether an electric vehicle could feed electricity back to the grid. The company’s president, Tom Gage , dubbed the system “vehicle to grid” or V2G. And EV owners would become entrepreneurs, selling electricity back to the grid. And indeed, that’s how promoters of vehicle-to-grid technology perceive the EV.

After taking solar installation classes and volunteering with GRID Alternatives for several years and learning to install racking systems, PV modules and inverters, and how to wire them up – including bending conduit – in 2015 I installed a solar PV system on my own roof with a crew of GRID experts.

The car is lightning fast — an instant throwback to the purr of the EV1 electric car — only this time there is almost universal agreement that the car is damn sexy. Night time grid charging is cheapest (&# $1 a gallon&# ) and the whole process will be even greener come the end of January when our roof (finally) gets solar panels.

GM waxed hot and cold on the EV1. Toyota, the automaker arguably best positioned and most experienced in the ways of electric drive, has scarcely hidden its intention to go slow on plug-ins while touting small incremental mileage gains on the gasoline-only Prius and the green glitz of an optional solar roof.
