Vehicle 2 Grid electric car

Professor Willet Kempton of the University of Delaware developed a car that can give electricity to the house or to power up things that you need like a stove or a computer in it. You can also charge it from the plug to keep it running. The car puts in 12kwt into the the professor’s house which is more than sufficient to run an average U.S. home with average electricity use of 1.5kWh per hour. Thus, everything in the professor’s house runs off the car as well as a few of his neighbors’ houses.

Unfortunately, Discovery News don’t allow to insert videos, but this is a video about a very unique technology. Therefore, the video about this car can be found here: http://news.discovery.com/videos/tech-electric-car-feeds-grid.html

Let’s hope we can get more of these soon. Did you see how fast the car accelerates on the parking lot?
