A budding technology could allow electric cars to provide power to the grid when it's needed most, helping utilities deal with heatwaves.
Someday, millions of vehicles could use special bidirectional chargers to absorb energy when it's plentiful and release it back to the grid as needed, helping utilities manage heatwaves and other spikes in demand. This vision rests on something called vehicle-to-grid technology, or V2G.
"If we want to go to 100% renewables, which is now the target of many states, that requires a lot of batteries," Preindl told Insider."And cars seem to be the only really viable solution at the moment." For regular EV owners to supply energy to the grid on a large scale, automakers, charging firms, and utilities will need to standardize the process, Andrew Meintz, a chief engineer at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, told Insider. Participants will also need to get paid by utilities for their contributions, he said.
