Plug in at home at night and charge up at low rates.
Plug in at work during the day and sell part of the charge back to the grid at daytime rates.
In theory a vast number of cars out there with a full charge, could supply a great amount of energy redundancy during the day.
The new electric car that has come on the market in the last year that is very expensive, has a range of over 200 miles. If the owner were to sell back 100 miles worth of charge during the daytime, that guy could probably get a pretty exchange rate. I have done this, so I don’t know what the potential is. If this guy is writing about it, there must be some viability to it.
It does seem that if this caught on, at some point the rates in the daytime would somewhat narrow with those at night, as the rates at night would climb and the rates during the day would drop.
Should have read, I have NOT done this...
Ooops.
And what happens when I hop in the EV at 6 PM to go home and find all my juice was sold back to the utility during the daytime and I can’t even make it to the road in front of the office? No thanks. I think I’ll keep my charge to get me home at night.
