"...there's another step you could take. If you have a bidirectional charger, you can set it to sell power back to the grid when demand is high."Fewer than ten people across Australia actually do this, because the technology - known as Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) - is very new.. announced new Australian standards and communications protocols for bidirectional chargers in a bid to make it mainstream...small profit of about A$1,000 annually..."
