Giving back electricity

So I plug in my car to get power, and when necessary I plug in my car and give back the same stuff.

Wouldn’t that be like pouring gasoline back into the tank at the gas station?

“The idea is that, if millions of electric vehicles can be sold, not only can their batteries be charged during the 95 percent of the time they are on average off the road, absorbing much of that surplus wind energy at night, they can also be used, by way of ‘smart meters’, to reverse the flow, providing back-up for the windmills by feeding power back into the grid when needed.

“And, for this fantasy, the EU is prepared spend serious money, with no less than €5 billion being set aside for the ‘green cars initiative’, made available through European Investment Bank (EIB) loans, Seventh Framework Research Programme (FP7) grants and ‘demand-side measures and public procurement’.

“At least €220 million in EIB funding has gone to the Nissan plant to fund the production of the Leaf, and there have been substantial funds allocated from the €197 million initial research budget on electric cars, to develop the V2G concept.”
