It's a non-starter proposition.
- sitkack 5y agoThe car needs to be at 100% to get to work?
- reducesuffering 5y agoNon-starter? It's the actual grid battery storage solution a decade from now. EV owners will be able to pull and push electricity to the grid, incentivized by $. When the grid needs base load, $ paid to EV owners pushing electricity to the grid will keep rising until market equilibrium. Users can get notifications on a mobile app for certain $/kwh they'll be willing to receive to have their car go from 100% -> 60%, especially as battery storage gets larger and many people end up with 400 mile capacities where 90% of the time they use 50 miles during the day. Have a long trip coming up? Don't push electricity those days... Especially with WFH (charge EV during day, give to grid at night, end up making $)
