It's midnight: Powerful wind gusts drive turbines, which produce more energy than is needed. Energy prices go down. The electric car in the garage automatically begins to recharge its battery, and to benefit from the favorable energy prices. Nine o'clock: The car is parked in the underground parking garage at the office; the battery charge has declined slightly on the way to work. By this time, wind strength has waned, yet power needs have risen due to the time of day. So prices go up. The car feeds a certain portion of its stored power back into the network, and the owner gets a monetary offset in exchange. Enough energy remains in the battery so that the owner can make a few stops on the way back home.
