Benefits of V2G for plug-in car owners include: increased cash flow when selling power to the grid, backup power in the event of power outages, and fewer car tune ups and repair costs. Learn more: http://www.keytokite.com/why-we-need-vehicle-to-grid-techn/

With 30,000 charging stations for #electric vehicles, ChargePoint is aiming to transform transportation with sustainable EV charging infrastructure, making it possible for more people to move away from fossil fuels. http://www.keytokite.com/solving-the-energy-crisis/

EVs can be a new resource that could balance power sharing and stabilize the grid. It increases sources for electricity, shows support for sustainable power, and can eliminate the need for large nuclear power plants. http://www.keytokite.com/solving-the-energy-crisis/

The auto industry predicts that there will be some 4 million plug-in #electricvehicles on the road by 2020 - the equivalent of one power plant. Learn more about V2G as a solution to the energy crisis: http://www.keytokite.com/why-we-need-vehicle-to-grid-techn/

In the future, V2G technology could buffer renewable power sources by storing excess energy produced and providing it back to the grid during high load periods. Read about the benefits: http://www.keytokite.com/why-we-need-vehicle-to-grid-techn/

The Energy Information Administration projects that fossil fuels will still supply 80% of the nation’s energy in 2040. #Vehicle-to-grid technology allows for less use of fossil fuels, thereby decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on Middle Eastern oil. http://www.keytokite.com/solving-the-energy-crisis/

In addition to handling additional electricity demand, using #EVs as batteries could offer the opportunity to use them as an alternative to back-up generators. Learn why we need #V2G technology: http://www.keytokite.com/why-we-need-vehicle-to-grid-techn/

Nissan Future Lab partnered with the US Air Force in 2014 to research how #electricvehicles could be used to support an electric grid. The fleet of Nissan Leafs can be used to store excess #electricity from the power plant that can be returned to the grid during high-demand hours.

Nissan and Enel (largest Italian multinational distributor of electricity and gas) have partnered to allow e-NV200 drivers and customers with Nissan Leaf #EVs to sell excess power back to the grid during peak demand hours. http://www.keytokite.com/creating-a-federal-bill-for-v2g/

Electric vehicles benefit utilities and customers alike because #EVs can increase electricity sales, while also lowering the price utilities have to charge to cover their costs. http://www.keytokite.com/understanding-v2g/

In recent news, GM and Lyft have partnered to test a fleet of self-driving electric taxis in San Francisco sometime within the next year. Meanwhile, London has set a deadline for when it will require all new taxis to be electric - January 1, 2018. Now is the time to seriously consider V2G technology - http://www.keytokite.com/why-we-need-vehicle-to-grid-techn/

Happy World Environment Day! One action we can take to benefit our planet for the better is to advocate vehicle-to-grid technology. Not only can the use of electric cars decrease greenhouse gas emissions, but it can also create sustainable energy and decrease our dependency on Middle Eastern Oil.

In the U.S., the transportation sector is responsible for 27% of total #GHG emissions. Relying less on gasoline-powered vehicles can help cut pollution; some state and local governments are working together to incorporate EVs and plug-in hybrids into their public fleets.
