Maximizing Battery Storage Profits via High-Frequency Intraday Trading

EV can grid cooperate without adding charge/discharge cycles. You just intelligently schedule the charging.

This is how most Time-of-Use metering already works. The driver sets a minimum battery percentage to charge immediately (eg 40% range, enough to reach the local hospital), and then schedule a time when the car should be fully charged (eg 80% by 7AM). The software just Does The Right Thing, using the same prediction and bidding algorithms as stationary batteries.

The search term is "V1G" (a cheeky reference to unidirectional V2G).

Indeed. I live in The Netherlands and use the Jedlix app to schedule charging, which works in this way. The grid operator can use this to selectively create or shed load in a specific area, which helps to stabilize the grid. Really nifty.
