    ‘Google’, the search engine giant which is now thinking of a revolutionary concept to make software that would charge electric vehicles more efficiently and at the same time ease the strain on the main grid. However according to Dan Reicher, Google’s director of Climate Change and Energy Initiatives,“we are doing some preliminary work. We have begun some work on smart charging of electric vehicles and also on how you would integrate large number of electric vehicles into the grid successfully.” In 2007, google announced a program to test Toyota Prius and Ford Escape, gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles that were converted to rechargeable plug-in hybrids that run mostly on electricity. Reicher also said that the company is trying to figure out a way in which millions of future electric vehicles can be plugged on at the same time. Kudos to Google in their endeavor!
