Researchers at CSIRO in Australia are running a road trial of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), which can ultimately be used as large mobile batteries that can be integrated and used in the home.
CSIRO engineers have modified the PHEVs to carry a 30Ah NiMH battery which is capable of holding a 6kWh charge, and a battery charger, to allow the cars to plug into and charge with electricity from the grid or from on-site renewable energy sources.
