Which - to go back to my "the utilities need to be paying fair rates for the infrastructure provided by clients" - if you're going to be putting extra cycles on my battery, you'd better be paying me a decent rate for it. I've always seen the idea thrown out as this abstract "we can use everyone's car as a peaker battery, it's gonna be great!" but if they are gonna pay distributed storage rates like the rates they pay for distributed generation, then fuck no, I'm not letting you wreck my battery for 50 cents a day.

Utilities are gonna charge you 25c a kWh extra for peak demand delivery, and then be paying the actual people delivering it like 1c a kWh, you can book it.
