Small long-term evaluation program, including modeling of vehicle-to-grid building benefits and economics, begun with Southern California Edison, joined by EPRI, other utilities, US DOE. Batteries not ready. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle technologies are not yet competitive due primarily to the high cost of advanced batteries.
