Researchers say EV models with vehicle-to-grid capability will be a huge and flexible resource able to respond to emergencies

It was important to have an “end goal … to get things set up in the right way, so we don’t have to keep going back and making major radical changes to it”, he says.

Their flexibility means charging can often be delayed with little inconvenience to the owner and their battery size – as much as two days’ household power use – gives them collective heft.
