Powering our vehicles with electricity will enable green, sustainable fuels such as wind and solar to replace much of our current use of liquid petroleum fuels. Smart electrical grids will both charge the vehicles and occasionally use power from the vehicles. This will help to maintain the stability of the grid and reduce the occurrence of brownouts and blackouts.

This would allow the vehicles to be used as mobile batteries, contributing solar power to the electrical grid, and helping to "load balance" the demand. At home, the same vehicle batteries can help power a house (vehicle-to-house V2H), or feed energy back to the grid (vehicle-to-grid V2G).
