While visiting the Innovation Showcase at CTIA 2012, we bumped into Nick Pudar -- OnStar's VP of commercial Development -- who was kind enough to offer us a couple of minutes of his time. We sat within the LTE Skype-enabled Chevy Volt on display and discussed such topics as OnStar FMV, RelayRides and smart grids -- wherein power utilities can (with the customer's consent) send a signal to a vehicle to regulate when it charges. The premise is to allows utilities to maximise grid efficiency and minimize power spikes while giving customers options for when to charge the vehicle -- like when the rates are the bottom or when the facility generated is coming from renewable energy, as an instance. Pretty neat stuff, eh? Watch our video interview for all of the (pardon the pun) juicy details.
