The U.S. Department of Defense has recently started a new vehicle-to-grid program being run along with the U.S. Air Force and the California Energy Commission at Los Angeles Air Force Base. In order to assist with this program, the Department of Defense will be deploying thirteen Nissan LEAF vehicles.
The all-electric Nissan LEAF is the perfect model to be utilized for this program because its electric power source will make it possible for the power coming to and from the grid to be directed by the Department of Defense. This model is already being used in a similar program in Japan powering houses with the “LEAF to Home” power supply system
“As the global leader in electric vehicle sales, Nissan is researching ways to integrate the all-electric LEAF into homes, buildings and power grids to unlock new value that could provide future benefits to customers, businesses and utility companies alike,” said Toby Perry, director of Marketing for Nissan LEAF. “With projects such as the Los Angeles Air Force Base fleet, Nissan can gather valuable insights to ensure that our vehicles are ready when similar programs are deployed by utilities or other entities on a larger scale.”
