- _ph_ 10y agoTheir collective capacity is to low (as there are to few electrical cars) to appear on the radar of the utility companies yet, but as their numbers increase, they become important parts of managing the grid. Just controlling the charge time and speed of a million electric cars gives easily a gigawatt of regulation power.
- DrScump 10y agoNo, I meant in terms of autonomously directing chargers to pull power out of vehicles and back into the grid, as the comment implied.
