This lead article on EVs has half the story. In Ethical Markets TV show on “Renewable Energy“ in 2005, we showed that EVs could also be designed to store electricity and keep the home lights on at off-peak hours. Now the BBC reports that the Madeira Islands (off the coast of Portugal), are electrifying their grid and using EVs to store electricity to add or to balance load on their grid . So, as good futurists, we were 15 years ahead on this story!
