A groundbreaking trial in New Zealand is testing whether electric vehicles can double as backup power sources for homes, potentially reducing energy costs and extending battery life. Participants will explore how cars with large batteries can feed electricity back into household systems during outages or peak demand periods. The initiative aims to demonstrate the practical benefits of vehicle-to-grid technology, offering a sustainable solution for energy resilience. Early results could influence how EVs are integrated into future smart energy networks.
