Texas’s largest regulated utility company plans to develop technology that would allow energy from electric car batteries to flow back to the power grid.

Oncor and Toyota North America, headquartered in Plano, Texas, announced on Thursday a project known as vehicle-to-grid, or V2G, which the companies believe could allow customers to use their electric cars to help firm up the grid.
