Just buy a home battery. Sheesh, there were solutions to problems before LLMs

Yeah this is the simplest solution. I'm hoping my next EV can do V2H and act as a home battery.

Yeah, but that’s strictly worse for some of these examples. You can’t overcome the loss of energy just going into the battery and getting it back and the there is the huge cost of the battery itself.

The freezer example would require like $10 of electronics assuming there isn’t already a WiFi chip in it.
