People value things differently. You'd have to pay me way more than the 8 cents/kwh it cost me to use my battery. I'd want to be heavily compensated for the inconvenience of replacing the battery or car prematurely.

Plus the reduced range between new and replacement.

Plus my time and inconvenience of not having full range transport at all times. The time of someone who can currently afford an EV is more expensive than the time of someone who cannot.

If I had a LiFePo4 battery that's good for 750,000 km I'd be willing to accept less than 8c because there's no way the rest of the car is going to last 750,000 km.

You'd be willing to take around a penny per km of battery lifespan? I accept your decision at face-value, but it hardly seems worth it to me.

That might just inevitably conclude in "OK, I guess others are willing to ask a lower price than I am, so I won't be in a position to participate in a V2G scheme."

From GPs post its actually $5 plus 8c per KW.

That seems more reasonable for the owner, but no utility co would pay it.
