Bidirectional Charging Management (BCM) research project gets green light; tying in renewables

Green Car Congress

Using these electric vehicles as a means of buffer storage allows the potential of wind farms and solar plants for carbon-neutral energy generation to be exploited to an even greater degree. Although the fleet of electric vehicles on our roads keeps growing, this only results in a slight increase in the amount of electric power required.
