  "textContent": "Electric vehicles (EVs) can effectively serve as mobile batteries that provide energy to the power grid when not being driven, improving the reliability of the grid, serving as a source of backup power and potentially reducing energy and EV ownership costs. So why have so few places adopted the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) model? A new study details the barriers to V2G adoption and outlines possible paths forward for this technology.",
