“It may call for an industry adjustment, for instance, to require EV manufacturers to program their vehicles to stop charging during a grid emergency, with an option for drivers to override for urgent charging.

“Stopping just 6,000 EVs charging would have kept the power on for those 90,000 customers whose power was cut on February 13.

“Our results show that vehicle-to-grid can be a powerful contributor to our power system’s security, and that all electric vehicles have an important role to play.”

 Thanks, Art, a valuable trial providing a clear vision. 

At the bottom of the article , I found this tagline: 
 CSIRO brings science, not politics, to the electricity cost debate.  
(Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, like NRC)

A suggestion:
CACOR brings knowledge, from A(nthropology) to Z(oology), to the table. 

Cheers,

How about something even simpler

"CACOR shares ideas"

Short is beautiful and I like simple. 

But I have more than ideas to bring to the table. So do you, We have evidence. 

CACOR, with its treasure trove of presentations and conversations, its prolific Google groups, its studies, and the breadth of the academic and professional backgrounds of its members has a precious resource — for use by itself and by others. 

Cheers,

Hi Art,

The "EV Everywhere"  pilot I'm on with Hydro Ottawa gives them the ability to stop charging anytime they want.  We need EV manufacturers to be more open to this, but it's happening.

Good idea!!  and.....Those 6000 vehicles might be able to charge during low usage times, like 11 pm to 7 am, and, provided the infrastructure is there, contribute at least some of that power pack to the grid during high usage times.
