[font size=4] Energy stored in electric vehicles can be used to power large buildings, thanks to ground-breaking research from WMG, University of Warwick
Researchers discover that by intelligently managing vehicle-to-grid technology, energy from idle vehicle batteries can be pumped back into the grid – and this would improve vehicle battery life by around 10%
‘Smart grid’ developed, which calculates how much energy can be taken from electric vehicles without negatively affecting batteries, and actually improving longevity and performance
Previously thought that vehicle-to-grid tech only acts to degrade battery life – this research shows that it could keep vehicle batteries healthier for longer[/font]

1. The energy in the car

needs to come from green sources also but every bit helps. I'd really like to see our government spend some of that DoD money on huge solar arrays and storage facilities. The viability of fossil fuels is ending with solar energy producers coming in cheaper than their fossil fuel competitors in recent bidding.

2. A fair deal of DoD money is being spent on "huge solar arrays" (for military bases)
