The important part is that it isn’t necessary for people to use their cars for the _public_ good for this idea to work.
If there's an economic incentive for EV owners to use V2H to reduce their _own_ load during the time of low generation (and thus high prices), then the setup would already do a great job at balancing the grid.
People aren’t dumb and will be able to figure out where the break-even point is and at what price point it makes sense for them to discharge. Today the only problem is the availability of the V2H tech. My belief is that the _only_ important change that needs to happen is a govt. mandate for V2H support in vehicles and home chargers. Supporting this is quite cheap, and today’s implementations of V2L/H are just price gouging on the novelty basis.
