“Grid-Tied” Vehicle Technologies Electric Utility Electric Power Electric Utilities control charging loads for demand and time of day. Utilities control power fed back into the grid. Vehicle owner sets control parameters.
Vehicle to Grid (V2G) Benefits Regulation Vehicle Batteries Spinning Reserve
Vehicle to House (V2H) Electricity on Demand at Job Sites Emergency Electricity • Large batteries in the PHEVs to eliminate engine idling. • Elimination of noisy, polluting generators • Rapid dispatch, deployment and initial operations.

Colorado Alternative Fuel Tax Credit "Hybrid vehicle" means a motor vehicle with a hybrid propulsion system that uses an alternative fuel by operating on both an alternative fuel, including electricity, and a traditional fuel. [39-22-516 – 2.5(a)(II.5)] Only uses electricity internally. Unintended Consequences • Excludes Plug-in Hybrid-Electric conversions since “the hybrid vehicle is already an alternative fuel vehicle.” • Excludes the new Nissan hybrid since it uses E-85 and not a “traditional fuel”. Results: Converting a Toyota Prius or a Ford Escape hybrid to a Plug-in Hybrid – replacing half of its petroleum used with electricity and giving it a usable ZEV range – is not supported by the Colorado Alternative Fuel Tax Credits or Rebates.
