| 0:23.6 | Alright, I won't get too over the top. With great episode this week, you're going to |
| 0:28.6 | really enjoy this. We're going to be discussing in depth and some technical complexity, vehicle |
| 0:35.2 | to grid or even vehicle to home or vehicle V to X. We've discussed the whole gamut of |
