Vehicle-to-Smart Grid Power: Resources for Distributed Electric Power in Hawaii
A post from a Hawaiian blog outlines how plug-in vehicles empowered by a smart grid could help power individual homes in an emergency for several days (based on use of Phoenix Motorcars 35 KWh battery platform):

"All-Electric-drive vehicles can become an important resource for the Hawaii electric utility system, with consequent air pollution, system reliability, and economic benefits. We refer to electric power resources from vehicles as "Vehicle to Grid" power (V2G). The economic value of some forms of V2G appear high, more than enough to offset the initially higher costs of electric-drive vehicles, thus having the potential to accelerate their introduction. To realize this potential, some coordination of vehicle and infrastructure planning will be needed.Our Phoenix Motorcars 35 KWh Battery Platform can run your home in an emergency for3-4 days... 3-4 homes for 24 hours, our new advanced 70KWh Platform.....Just Imagine!"
