Vehicle to Grid V2G Electric Car Project @ AutoPortInc.com Site Visit
Thanks to Antonio Saratan of AutoPort for hosting my visit to UoD’s V2G (learn More ) Car Conversions at Autoport
Here is a short video of a site visit to AutoPort in New Castle Delaware.
AutoPort is excited to be the first company in the world licensed to practice this V2G technology,” said Dick Johnson, the company’s director of business development. “We are looking forward to working closer with the University and AC Propulsion to demonstrate the first large-scale V2G project.”
AC Propulsion, based in San Dimas, Calif., makes the electric drive system and designed the eBox, an all-electric car. They have added V2G features as a result of working with UD researchers.
Johnson said that AutoPort will work with major companies in the area to demonstrate the V2G concept. A minimum of 60 vehicles is needed to produce one megawatt of power when the vehicles are plugged into the grid.

Featuring world-class performance, zero emissions, an expected range of 85 miles*, comfortable seating for four and an expressive, endearing style that says green in all of its five colors, the Mitsubishi “i” will be arriving in the United States in Fall, 2011. We invite you to explore its many advantages.
*Actual range will vary depending on driving/charging habits, speed, conditions, weather, temperature and battery age

Get plugged in.
Say hello to the Volt, Chevrolet’s new electric vehicle that can use gas (but only if you need to). There’s no need to suffer range anxiety. The Volt will take you wherever you need to go whether it’s to the corner store or a long-distance road trip. Check out the video to get an overview of the Volt from the minds behind its creation.
