Distributed grid battery storage via EVs is an interesting idea and I'd think a 70% charge would be possible for commuters. However, when everyone gets home plugging in to get back what they supplied out during the day I am curious to see how the network would deal with that load. Imaging Toronto with 25% of households consuming an additional 20kwh a day, that's a considerable change. Apartments in Toronto probably use about 18-25kwh a day on average, you'd essentially be doubling that for a quarter of the city. I'd love to know if that's manageable / what industry experts are thinking. (My numbers are all backed by very crappy quick internet searches and guestimates)
