To clarify, per mile driven, corn -> ethanol -> combustion vehicle uses 100 times more land than solar PV -> power grid -> electric vehicle.

We were warned the power grid couldn’t handle widespread electric vehicle adoption. I wonder what they have to say now about those energy sucking data centers.

A city in the Netherlands is using a fleet of electric cars from a ride-share service to store the excess solar energy generated during peak times—essentially using cars as back-up batteries for the grid.
Apparently, it's called "V2G," "vehicle-to-grid" charging in the industry.

Vehicle to grid (V2G) or vehicle to load (V2L) is a much safer option for power during a power outage.
There is still time to save lives. If you have family that is still without power due to #Helene and they are using a portable generator, make sure they know to keep it outdoors at least 20 feet away from their home. Carbon monoxide cannot be seen or smelled and can kill in minutes.
