Actually, there are several companies in Silicon Valley, CA that have put in, as you say "banks of high power interconnects for EV's" for their employees. Those companies listen to their employees as they want to do whatever they can to keep them happy and not going to another company. 6kW EVSE is another candy or incentive to keep their highly skilled employees there/with-them. What Silicon Valley does, other companies emulate/copy, so it is not a one-off thing. (I took most of the images shown on the following sites):
http://api.plugshare.com/view/location/37666 Google has a massive amount of 6kW L2 EVSE at their Mt. View, CA sites. http://api.plugshare.com/view/location/18237 Facebook in Menlo Park, CA put in several all around the former Sun Microsystems campus. http://www.recargo.com/sites/7082 http://api.plugshare.com/view/location/10899 Tesla's Deer Creek site in Palo Alto, CA has a long row of 6kW EVSE in near near the lobby for both their employees and business visitors to use. http://www.recargo.com/sites/1702 http://www.recargo.com/sites/2292 Citrix was one of the first to install many 6kW EVSE at their small site in Santa Clara, CA It would be a simple matter of changing out these 6kW L2 EVSE with ones the have a V2G capability. {brucedp.150m.com} - On Tue, Dec 31, 2013, at 07:58 PM, Al wrote: > V2G is one of those things that theoretically could be done, but is too > cumbersome and expensive to actually implement.
