Recent price rises due to gas in Europe have exposed more people to the idea that the market price is set at the margin.
If 1W of gas fired power needs to be brought online in the middle of the night to charge your phone, then all the wind power gets the same price. That's why peaks have always been the most economical place to target investments.
It would be interesting to compare the charge rate of a Tesla Powerall * the number of them deployed. I can see iPhones alone winning that depending on some assumptions you make.
You'd then probably be able to find stats on what Tesla gets paid for providing that service to get some idea of scale.
