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.

The plant also includes a compression and distribution system that enables storing of the hydrogen under pressure. The idea is to use this capacity to produce electricity and split water into hydrogen and oxygen in the test hydrogen plant. This way the hydrogen functions as a battery that stores energy for later use whenever needed.
