Emerging Technologies

Will this breakthrough see an electric car in every driveway?

University of Delaware Professor Willett Kempton removes the power plug from an electric-powered Toyota Scion near his office at the university in Newark, Delaware, March 25, 2010. Kempton, who is leading the university's Vehicle to Grid (V2G) program, believes electric car batteries will represent a vast, reliable source of energy for the grid in a future when the national power supply will increasingly rely on renewable but fluctuating sources like sun and wind.
