Not only that, because BMW itself explains: “By accepting and providing electricity, electric vehicles can also provide a significant contribution to the share of electricity consumption coming from renewable sources. By using the storage capacities provided by high-voltage batteries, it is possible to better coordinate supply and demand in the green electricity sector.”
