They wanted to see whether an electric vehicle could feed electricity back to the grid. The company’s president, Tom Gage , dubbed the system “vehicle to grid” or V2G. And EV owners would become entrepreneurs, selling electricity back to the grid. And indeed, that’s how promoters of vehicle-to-grid technology perceive the EV.

What I do need is an affordable alternative to Lead Acid. About 15 amps from a 110v outlet is adequate. Like most people, I tend to drive less than 30 miles a day, so I won’t run out of charge. is a Green Options Media Production. is a Green Options Media Production.

Electric motors are generally three times more energy efficient than combustion engines. The electric grid is the most advanced energy-distribution network ever created and is constantly only a few feet away from us (far more ubiquitous than gas/ethanol/hydrogen stations). Electric engines are emissions free (and quiet).
