They'll never Ever discharge into the grid. If it's ever close to economic to do so, it'll be more economic for utilities to buy and install cheaper grid-scale batteries on their own. Batteries designed to move around safely will always be more expensive. Because of that, during the exceptional times when it would be economic to use the cars like you suggest, like the Texas freeze a few years ago, the infrastructure won't be in place to do it.

But if they get bought anyway the incremental cost of using them for this when not on the move is very low
