A very interesting point shown here is the extremely large amount of overall energy storage/saving capacity that will be in the EVs themselves and the questions of how to “leverage” that, by bi-directional charging, for example.
What else could be possible here?
Huge grids powered by “undriven” EVs, whilst their owners receive cashback?

This means there is likely a limit to the share of vehicles that charge
bi-directionally.
Having too much EV battery capacity available to support grid energy storage seems like a very nice problem to have and should further boost investments in wind and solar. I hope that bidirectional charging ports become a requirement on all high-priced future housing.

Just demand shifting of charging will have a big impact. EVs are a battery and and a computer on wheels. Charging automatically when the grid is cheap and green is going to really help the roll out of renewables.
