The document discusses the potential for electric vehicles to be part of a smart electrical grid system. It outlines how electric vehicles could draw power from the grid during low demand periods to increase efficiency, and provide power back to the grid during peak demand times. However, it questions whether consumer usage patterns could prevent this model from being effective, or exacerbate peak demand issues. The speaker aims to explore the true capabilities of smart electric vehicles within electrical grid planning and the visions that engineers and manufacturers have for integrating electric vehicles and a smart grid in the future.
