What is in the Nikkei is a story about advances in construction technologies — of houses. It reads like this: “Homes that can use electric cars as power storage batteries is just one of the new construction technologies expected to receive attention in 2009. Such technology was jointly developed by Tostem Housing Institute Co., which belongs to JS Group Corp, Mitsubishi Corp., the Tokyo Institute of Technology and others. Their final goal is to develop a system whereby electric cars serve as a battery for homes.There is no Toyota mentioned anywhere in the article.

Any one have some numbers on what they could do?

I imagine they must be a long way off from being able to put anything like that in to development, but it will be interesting to keep an eye out for some updates. Sounds like an interesting concept.
