Nissan Officially Uses Grid Tech for EV
Recently, Nissan made official the long-standing tech that allows the Nissan Leaf to output energy in either direction. In other words, you could use the energy in the Nissan to charge their batteries, but they can also charge the grid and give energy to buildings.
Energy Tech
Other companies have had this tech for a while, but Nissan has only added it to vehicles in the US recently. They say that they are the only company in the U.S. That can do the bi-directional thing. Nissan introduced the Leaf in 2010, and they were one of the first companies to innovate EV units around.
Since then, however, Nissan and the Leaf haven't been as prominent in terms of EVs as some other companies working in the electric space. This technology that Nissan has now made official can allow you to use electricity in your Leaf vehicle to transfer to the grid or even through the grid to a particular building when it's needed.
Tech like this could be useful during high energy consumption during the day. It could also be used prominently in groups of vehicles that have a lot of Leaf units. It could be used to charge buildings during any situation where more energy might be needed. It's possible to imagine it being used during power outages to help out, for example.
Developments like this could represent a new era in technology that allows for electric vehicles to help out with energy and use energy for more than just their driving. It's likely that other car makers are moving towards this point and have already made some progress here, even while Nissan was developing it themselves.
Here is seen the exact kind of versatility that will allow for a period where many different things act in concert to prevent long-term power outages or energy problems across the board. It's going to be an interesting time that's coming forward into the future.
