Massachusetts EV Drivers Can Sell Extra Energy to the Grid Under New Program
Unpredictable weather conditions continue to prompt consumers, especially electric vehicle shoppers, to prioritize features such as vehicle-to-load and vehicle-to-home so they can power essential devices in a power outage. The program, which will let customers sell their stored energy back to the grid during peak periods, is expected to involve 60 customers. Massachusetts has some of the highest electricity costs in the U.S., at 34 cents per kWh or roughly $310 per month as of last week, according to EnergySage.
