I remember hearing that Nissan executives are already talking about integrating V2G technology into their cars at a future date, which is a great sign... I sincerely hope that they follow through, soon!
In a power outage, wouldn't it be nice to have backup household electricity available from the LEAF? And for all of the other days... Charge in the early morning off-peak hours and then sell what you don't need back to the grid, at high demand periods. Buy low, sell high, and add an extra few dollars to your pocket, while it serves as a load-leveler for the electrical network. Everyone's a winner... Brilliant!
Electrons are so versatile. Amazing. We should all be taking full advantage of them...
