Can You Hear Me Now? Ford Develops Vehicle-to-Grid Communications for Plug-In Hybrids
Talk about your “conversation starters.” Ford has developed an intelligent vehicle-to-grid communications and control system for its demonstration electric vehicles including plug-in hybrids that “talks” directly with the grid.
