This was discussed in previous threads. It is a plug in hybrid.

1. You charge the thing when there is less electrical demand.

2. During rolling blackouts, you run the thing on gasoline, it's a hybrid.

3. If there are fleets of these things plugged into the grid, they could theoretically prevent rolling blackouts by feeding power back into the grid.
