Not sure if I believe this news article from 'The mirror online'. If there is any truth in this, isn't it going to be a game changer for some?
One electric car driver has managed to knock hundreds of pounds off his energy bill by using his car like a giant battery and selling power back to the National Grid
A savvy electric car owner has cut his energy bills to almost zero - by selling power back to the National Grid.
With energy bills rising, and due to hit almost £3,000 in October, many households are trying to work out ways to bring their energy costs down.
One driver, Paul Kershaw, 51, managed this in a most unusual way - by charging his electric car using cheap off-peak energy, then selling it back to the National Grid at peak times for a profit. By doing this, Paul has been able to make enough money to cover the cost of rising energy bills.
Paul, who lives near Cambridge, said: "It has cut my energy bills almost to zero.
"It's taking away a lot of the anxiety about bills going up by 300%. Last year I paid £7.50 for electricity per month."
