Let's discuss that after 2030 when we are going to plug in millions of cars at night haha


Cars are the perfect source of smart consumers, you can think of a smart consumer like storage since they allow you to shift load but without having to pay the price of the round trip efficiency loss.

They sit still for 22-23 hours per day allowing making them perfect as long as we have chargers wherever you park your car. Which should be an easy mandate to enforce.

You also need to modify (heavily) the electricity distribution lines and infrastructure to add the capacity to actually power such a large number of chargers.
