Is your garage electric car ready?

Seems these cars can be charged with a regular 15 amp outlet, any 240 volt
outlet (50 amps best), or a 90 amp "4 hour charge"

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) describes a system in which electric or plug-in
hybrid
vehicles communicate with the power grid to sell demand response services

either delivering electricity into the grid or by throttling their

Yeah, I've read in a german magazine (www.spiegel.de) that even the best car
battery has no more energy than 2 pints of gas. To become viable, they have
to be 3 times as good and 3 times as cheap. Not to mention, that if you put
the pedal to the metal, the bat will drain in very little time. And of
course, it's worse efficiency to burn coal, generate electricity and
transmit, distribute it etc. over 5-6 transformation stages than using an
ICE with gasoline...
