Vehicle to grid trial programs are happening in more places like Massachusetts, Brooklyn, and Florida as utilities get on board.

Many automakers are interested in vehicle-to-home systems as well. For new car customers, the ability to use their car as a zero emissions emergency generator is a powerful selling point. Going from V2H to V2G involves installing some extra hardware, but if drivers could actually reduce their monthly utility bills by doing so, many would see that as a positive thing. Expect to hear about more vehicle-to-grid pilot programs in the months to come.
