Electric vehicles have a lot more potential than just to control carbon emissions
They are being seen as power plant that could feed energy back into the public power grid when not in use
Porsche is already exploring this idea!
The premium sportscar company in collaboration with a grid operator and consulting firm show how electric power can be sent to power grid from an EV
The brand uses five Taycan EVs and connects them to the power grid via home energy manager for testing the concept
Through the successful pilot testing Porsche concludes that through this process, regenerative energy can be expanded
Terming this as balancing power, a driver can give back energy from his or her personal EV to the grid
A situation where drivers get compensated for this will lead to increased adoption of EVs as well
The automaker says using high-voltage batteries as a buffer may be ideal for this
