Reply #12: What if all German houses had electric cars capable of doing load balancing? [View All]

[RickFromMN]

I don't think electric cars are set up to do load balancing yet; please correct me if I'm wrong.
I assume the grid would also have to be set up.

The idea is electric cars can communicate with the grid, learning when to charge slowly,
and when to upload power to the grid if the electric car has unneeded power.
