Electric vehicles fed power into Australian grid during blackout

During a major storm event that eventually cut power to tens of thousands of homes, a fleet of electric vehicles (EVs) were able to feed power back into Australia’s electricity grid, according to a new report from The Australian National University (ANU).
According to lead author of the study, Senior Research Fellow Dr Bjorn Sturmberg, it’s the first time in the world this type of vehicle-to-grid response to an emergency has been demonstrated.
“It shows electric vehicles can provide the backup we need in an emergency like this,” he said.

''“It shows electric vehicles can provide the backup we need in an emergency like this,”''

So it's come to relying on private motor vehicles to flatten their batteries just to keep the lights on.

And you call that progress??
