The EV battery is expected to act as a catalyst to accelerate development of sustainable power, specifically as a storage for wind power at nighttime and for solar panel system via recycling. In return, this situation has a chance to bring a solid win-win outcome -- rendering EVs affordable. 2. In many cases, power plants like a nuclear reactor maintain operation during night, and EVs could take full advantage of the surplus energy : With the concept of "V2H" (vehicle to home), the vehicle can supply 100V electricity stored in its on-board lithium-ion batteries to electric appliances in a house. It is possible to charge the batteries at night, when electricity is cheaper, and use it for home appliances during daytime, Mitsubishi Motors said. And the company claims that the batteries can provide almost all the electricity used in a normal household throughout the day.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('10440','hsr0601'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('10440','hsr0601','1.
