The EX90 SUV will have enough battery capacity to power a customer's home, according to the company.
Many electric vehicles now come with bi-directional charging. Electricity can flow from the electric grid into the electric vehicle with either one- or two-way EV charging stations.
Volvo will have its official debut in November. The company says customers will be able to use the car's battery to power their homes and portable devices. The energy can be sold back to the grid.
In select markets, customers will be able to use the car's battery to power their homes.
The ability of a fleet of EV to operate as a virtual power plant is boosted by other companies. The idea of "vehicle-to-grid" technology is being explored by the Pacific Gas and Electric Company.
The goal is to push and pull energy from electric vehicles at any time. High-capacity batteries are treated as backup storage cells for the electrical grid, not only as tools to power electric vehicles.
This could be useful during a power failure since some cars are being sold as mobile generators. We should expect Volvo to give more information about the EX90 in a couple weeks.
