You'd think you'd want to be using them more often - is it just that there's no grid demand for the power?
My hope is that the addition of a huge number of batteries to the grid, in the form of all these EVs, actually adds to its capacity, since most people won't be running them down to 0 and the software to optimize when to charge vs. when to power the grid seems to be evolving.
Pity it's not a nice open source standard or anything
- cptskippy 6y agoI don't know that any EV is capable of providing power from its charge port, but that would be helpful for stranded vehicles. Even if my EV could push power to the grid, I'm not sure I would want it too. It would require me to keep my EV plugged in and topped off which isn't good for the batteries. Currently both my EVs are sitting at around 50% unplugged.
