- michaeloblak 9y agoI don't know why, but this somehow reminds me an excellent paper[1] by lcamtuf about parasitic data storage (keeping data "on the cable"). [1] http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/juggling_with_packets.txt http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/juggling_with_packets.txt
- gwbas1c 9y agoHell no! As soon as someone departs for a long trip and the battery isn't charged, there will be a huge class action lawsuit. The lemon law attorneys will also have a field day! This is a really dumb idea.
- yorwba 9y agoIt doesn't have to happen against anybody's will. As you plug in your car, you set the time you need it charged, then you charge for a discount for your cooperation. If you change your mind and use the car earlier than expected, you know what you signed up to. No need for a lawsuit.
- ldp01 9y agoI'm ignorant as to existing implementations but the system I heard of to solve this is: Your car or charger module has electricity spot prices available to it and you can select a strategy for it to automatically follow. E.g. * Rapid charge (charge battery, ignore price) * Economise (charge battery at low price) * Make money (charge/discharge according to price to profit from the difference)
- vanattab 9y agoWouldn't this wear out the battery life?
- lancewiggs 9y agoa little- so you can pay the car owner of the use, and only use/drain the batteries when the difference between peak and off-peak power prices justifies the use. In NZ there is a market for power - and you can see how the peak to off-peak prices can create the arbitrage opportunity. http://www.em6live.co.nz http://www.em6live.co.nz
