A Nissan employee demonstrates how to use the company's electric vehicle "Leaf" to power a smart home near their headquarters in Yokohama, suburban Tokyo. Nissan's Leaf electric car can feed power from its battery back into a family home and run appliances for up to two days

A Nissan employee demonstrates how to use the company's electric vehicle "Leaf" to …

Nissan's Leaf electric car can feed power from its battery back into a family home and run appliances for up to two days under a new project the Japanese car-maker unveiled Tuesday.

Using the "Leaf to Home" system, the lithium-ion batteries of the zero tailpipe emission Leaf can be used as an emergency power backup for the home during a natural disaster or a power blackout, Nissan said.

Nissan, 44 percent owned by Renault of France, said it aims to commercialize the technology in Japan by March 2012.

The system works by linking the car via a quick charging port to the house's electricity distribution panel. Power can also be fed the other way if the house generates its own electricity with rooftop solar panels.

The Leaf batteries have a capacity of 24 kilowatt hours when fully charged, equivalent to the electricity used by the average Japanese household in two days, said the company.

The output from the vehicle comes to six kilowatts, enough to power electricity-guzzling appliances such as a refrigerator, air conditioner and washing machine at the same time, the company said.

Nissan says as well as its potential use in blackouts, the car can be charged during night time off-peak hours and the electricity used by households during high-demand periods.


Great for having a short term power supply in the "field." Good sales gimmick.

They sure could have used this right after Fukushima.

This would be a great storage and back up system, sans the car body, as standard home system. This would allow a home owner with an efficient generating system to go off grid. By using things to cut electric usage such as LED light bulbs etc., you could reduce your usage to make it very practical.

You could use a combination approach of wind or water or natural gas fuel cell or solar or a combination to keep the battery charged. The killer would be the initial set up cost and then the batteries have a limited lifespan of about ten years after which they have to be replaced at a cost of about $14,000 per battery.

Remember The White Rose
"“Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.” ~ Gautama Siddhartha — The Buddha

Yes indeed.

Americans are locked into the 'grid' like a fetus into an umbilical chord.

Just saw the $14K kicker.

PROBLEM: Most American families can hardly come up with an extra $14, let alone $14,000.

Happy, I know you're posting here. Don't think I forgot about the unanswered question.

Here's something for you to look at while you ponder your answer:
