New energy vehicles transform into urban "power banks" to help cope with high temperature electricity demand by selling electricity in reverse.

During this period, Chongqing, Hubei, and other places have experienced a new round of high temperatures. The two places are promoting the construction of "virtual power plants", integrating distributed power sources, energy storage, electric vehicles, and other scattered resources effectively to form a scalable regulation capacity, effectively coping with the continuous increase in electricity demand. In Chongqing, reporters saw a smart "zero carbon" power plant composed of photovoltaic energy and energy storage stations. In Wuhan, Hubei Province, the local government has created a project called "vehicle-grid interactive". By using peak-valley electricity price differences to design incentive mechanisms, owners of new energy vehicles can charge and store energy during off-peak periods, and "discharge and sell electricity" during peak electricity consumption periods to earn profits, turning electric vehicles into "energy banks".
