So you are going to pay for electricity to charge the car up, lug around twice as many batteries as you need, then get paid to put some remaining power back into the grid (at less than what you bought it for)?? I feel sorry for the students that get an education from these clowns :(

"You could envisage a world in the future where many people have these cars and there is an opportunity to say 'tomorrow we need everyone to feed their cars back into the grid', and that will help us address a power need on that particular day," she said.

She must've been on some good drugs when she envisaged that one.

I thought that Plug In Prius was first created in US a long time ago by some entusiasts. Connecting it to the house grid for the feed to grid application is not a hard thing to do, defenetly not in the level of University guys.
