The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The car can refuel during periods of low demand on the grid, and if equipped with a bi-directional charger, can actually replenish the grid with excess energy gleaned from a renewable resource. It is much more than that.
