The innovation could expedite the
adoption of
electric and hybrid
vehicles by eliminating the time needed to stop and re-charge a conventional
electric car's battery and dramatically reducing the need for new infrastructure to
support re-charging stations.
The following post summarizes a series of presentations focusing on a the potential of
vehicle - to - grid capability to accelerate the
adoption of plug - in hybrid (PHEV) and battery
electric vehicles (BEV): [From GCC:] The premise is that the additional cost to consumers of full - function zero - emission
vehicles (ZEV) or near zero - emission
vehicles — whether full battery
electric vehicles, plug - in hybrid
vehicles or fuel - cell
vehicles — can be partially offset by providing grid power
support to utilities or major power consumers.
