Unlike those you may have grown accustomed to seeing, many of these stations don’t just charge electric cars—they can also send power from vehicle batteries to the local utility grid for use by homes and businesses. Debates over the feasibility and value of such vehicle-to-grid technology go back decades. This is good for the grid.

If someone only spends $100 with me yearly to charge their vehicle at one of my high-speed chargers, I’m still probably going to see in the neighborhood of an additional $400 or $500 in home charging. The anti-EV crowd is fond of saying that EVs are going to “crash the grid.” So it becomes a long time before it starts to tax the grid.

.” Faster charging is typically more expensive because it requires an electrical system to operate at peak power, for which utilities levy higher demand charges, since it puts more stress on the electric grid. However, these higher energy costs can often be managed through a sophisticated EV service platform for smart charging.

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities.
