I don't know about that. Consider after a natural disaster, like Florida right now, or Texas last year. If every vehicle is low on energy (say, by trying to flee), and they are all trying at once to charge, that may overwhelm the grid. V2G only works assuming mass numbers of people aren't driving all at once, or trying to recharge their vehicles all at once.
The fail condition needs to be: What happens if 80% of EV owners are trying to charge their EVs to 80%, all at once?
- mcguire 4y agoV2G (among many other things) is an optimization. Past the point where you stop actually wasting inputs, optimization is the enemy of resiliency. It trades lower costs for an inability to handle extreme fluctuations.
- pjkundert 4y agoIf a civilization has already decided that adequate base-load supply is optional (which we apparently have…) — then at least making that inadequate Grid more resilient by adding more battery-to-grid capacity is an improvement. I personally this that’s stupid, but old slobs like me have been out-voted by young bucks who evidently don’t mind freezing in the dark.
