Maybe store it in electric car batteries? The ppl already buying Tesla Model 3 at scale.

Why utilities should pay for storage, when they could just offer cheaper electricity when there is excess of it. E.g. charge your car when we told you to and save %30 on your bill!

Yes, this is one of the classic suggestions for overnight or at-work charging: cars which choose to charge depending on the owner's goals and energy prices.
