Electric Cars May Power Homes In The Future
(San Diego, CA) — The California Energy Commission is looking at a study that could lead to electric cars powering homes in the future. The concept is to have the batteries in electric cars power homes in case of a power outage, or even send power back to the grid during evening hours when people get back from work and solar energy drops off. The two year study is also looking at fleet vehicles, like school buses, that can help power the grid when they aren’t being used.
