EVs are batteries on wheels. There are times when it would be nice to use these batteries for more than just moving the car. Nissan has started a program called EVs for Resilience that would allow for just that.

| Nissan LEAF to Home system |
Nissan's Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) system would allow you to use a Leaf as a power source during times such as a natural disaster or power outage. They estimate that a fully charged Leaf could power a home for 2 days. In the case of a simple downed power line, it would be possible to drive a short distance, charge up the car and bring back a nearly full charge to continue running your home.
Taking this a step further, at the Geneva Motor Show 2015, Nissan has formalized a partnership with the Spanish energy company Endesa. They will work together on Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), using an energy management system that will draw energy from Nissan EVs when the grid energy demand peaks.
