Smart Charging for EVs

This has been talked about for a long time, but it seems like WeaveGrid is making this a reality:

• Adjust the timing of when the EV charges to match supply and demand of the grid.
• Bidirectional charing where the EV sends electricity back to the grid when needed.

The idea is that EVs will form a massive interconnected and dispersed battery that can either consume excess power or provide power to the grid when needed. Of course, this only works for EVs that are connected at-home or at-work for a long time.
