In July 2013, Nissan began a test of “Vehicle-to-Building,” which is
based on “LEAF to Home,” at the Nissan Advanced Technology Center
(NATC) in Atsugi, Kanagawa Prefecture. “Vehicle-to-Building” allows up to
six Nissan LEAFs to be connected and supply power to office buildings,
condominiums or other buildings. Users can save electricity costs by
drawing on this system at times of peak demand. In tests at the center, the
system achieved an approximately 2.5% reduction of electrical power use
during peak hours. Nissan plans to identify issues with operation of the
system and test it outside the company
