When wind or solar power is available, the charging rate can be increased to expand the use of renewable energy in the grid. During peak periods, the flow of energy can be delayed or slowed to shift the charging load off-peak—minimizing localized grid stress and ensuring service reliability.

The Good About half our electricity comes from coal, and that will change, at best, slowly as we move to renewables. And ultimately, you can get no cleaner car than an electric car using wind or solar generated electricity. It should be perhaps our last fuel of choice regardless of how it's used.
