Electric cars that pay | csmonitor.com

Electric cars that pay | csmonitor.com: "it not only uses electricity but generates it for other purposes. So, once it's parked, you plug it in and sell excess electricity to a utility."



However, it's still ont he drawing board, but it's an idea that keeps popping up in various forms: likke the idea that you could plug it into your house when home and power the house at that time.



Here's an interesting thought, and nice because it's about dsitruted poser production in the hands of the people: "if automakers were to make 1 million next-generation V2G vehicles by 2020, they could generate up to 10,000 megawatts of electricity - about the capacity of 20 average-size power plants"



THere would be tremendous appeal to the ordinary consumer in this kind of cost-offsetting product; if the infrastructrual issues can be fettled then the market may indeed take care of this bit of environmental concern.

 I got a response from my MP which got me kind of mad. You'll see why as I reproduce it here. Apologies for the strange changes in types...
