The idea of using the energy stored in EV batteries for other purposes started with vehicle-to-grid (V2G). Instead of generating more power during peak times, utilities would purchase stored energy from EV owners and distribute it over the grid. During non-peak times, the EVs would draw energy for recharging. Vehicle-to-X (V2X).
