Ford Motor Company has developed an intelligent vehicle-to-grid communications and control system for its plug-in hybrid electric vehicles that communicates directly with the electric grid. All 21 of Ford’s fleet of plug-in hybrid Escapes eventually will be equipped with the vehicle-to-grid communications technology.
These vehicles will be studied to help evolve all-electric vehicle technology and to establish a foundation of understanding on utility grid needs by modeling impact of future all-electric vehicle growth on the shared energy grid.
Ford and PGE will work together to share information on charging needs and requirements to ensure the electrical grid can support the necessary demand for electric vehicles, as well as partner on consumer education outreach around electric vehicles.

Pike rates Toyota and Nissan as very close contenders for leadership, though both have either product portfolio or pricing issues that limited their scoring in Pike’s evaluation. proven ill fated”.
Ford will work with Austin Energy and Centerpoint Energy to develop consumer outreach and education programs on electric vehicles as well as share information on charging needs and requirements to ensure the electrical grid can support the necessary demand.
Ford and NYPA will work together to develop consumer outreach and education programs on electric vehicles as well as share information on charging needs and requirements to ensure the electrical grid can support the necessary demand.
Specifically on the BEV side, Ford has announced two vehicles: the electric TransitConnect light commercial van in 2010, and the battery electric Focus in 2011 (using new styling and with a new model). Utilities, vehicle-to-home (V2H), and vehicle-to-grid (V2G). Both of these are C-platform applications.
Coulomb’s project includes the deployment of electric vehicles, including 2,000 GM Volt, 200 Ford TransitConnect, 100 Ford Focus EV, and 100 Smart EV vehicles, as well as establishing 4,600 EV charging locations nationwide.

Deployment of technology- based safety systems such as described at Safer Car or at the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Program, or other applicable safety technologies.
Any purchaser of a program electric vehicle (the Chevrolet Volt; the Ford TransitConnect and Ford Focus Electric; or the smart fortwo electric drive), whose home is located within one of the nine target regions, will be eligible to receive a home charging station at no cost. The remaining stations will be installed by September 2011.
Hohm is also intended to help utility companies manage the added demands of electric vehicles on the electric grid. In North America, these include the TransitConnect Electric later this year, Focus Electric in 2011, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle and two next-generation hybrids in 2012.
.&# English-to-English translation: If you’ve got an Internet connection, you can monitor your car’s state of charge, and if the car is plugged in to the 120-volt (overnight charging) or 240-volt (3 hour charging) station, you can start the charge cycle now or later when the rates are lower and you won’t bring down the power grid.
Revealed alongside the Tourneo Connect BEV (seen earlier in the year at Geneva) the Focus BEV is the blue oval’s take on the electric-powered family car, featuring the latest lithium-ion battery pack technology, with a capacity of 23kWh and a chassis-mounted 100-kilowatt permanent-magnet electric traction motor.
After an abortive effort to offer a third-party electric conversion of the first-generation TransitConnect, Ford hasn’t done another compact EV delivery van. Nissan never offered its e-NV200 compact electric van here (and the gasoline NV200 itself is now gone too).
