Plug-In Hybrid Electrical Vehicle

First of all I want to thank Larry for taking the time to send us this message.  We love to hear from others.

Dear PHEV.com

In vehicle-to-grid, you talk about some of the possible benefits of charging at night and supplying power to the grid during peak hours. You left out a biggy. Here in California, there is a huge push for renewable energy and most of it will be wind. However, wind energy comes predominantly at night. This is likely to create a minimum load problem as there isn't enough demand at night for the wind plants being planned. PHEVs can alleviate this problem and make wind energy vastly more useful than it otherwise would be.
