Not only "Be charged by" but if the utility wants some power...it'll take it from your car.

Remember when it was an unhinged conspiracy theory to say that an all-EV fleet of vehicles would be easy for the government to decide who drives, when and how often? Good times.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- It's been said before, California's power grid will have to expand in order to meet the demand for more energy. PG&E's CEO Patricia Poppe has come up with an "unconventional" idea, using electric cars to send excess power back to the grid to prevent blackouts.

LOL. Because, you know, you don't need to go anywhere during the blackout. Say, shouldn't they planning for adding more power generation capacity?

San Diego has a pilot program with school buses using bi-directional charging that feeds into the grid at the end of the day.

"It's a gigantic unharnessed, untapped power source that can be used. Most vehicles are sitting parked, unused 95 percent of the time," added Johnson.

Right, people just charge up vehicles so as to not use them 95% of the time. You can't make this stuff up.
