"In the coming years, the utility plans to buy thousands of plug-in hybrid and electric car batteries once they've outlived their usefulness for transportation and install them in the basements of office towers and at electrical substations. The batteries will store green energy and and be used to cut peak demand for expensive - and greenhouse gas-emitting - electricity." "Electric vehicle batteries generally retain 80 percent of their capacity even after they're no longer good for powering cars." http://blogs.business2.com/greenwombat/200..._green_wom.html
neat idea and shows that batteries will not only be recycled but can actually be reused. I like PG&E's pro-active approach.
I saw a plug in hybrid driving around Walnut Creek on the 680 the other day. It was painted in PGE blue with big PGE logo's all over it. It said 100mpg plug-in hybrid. Does anyone know anything about that car?
