Not unless they're properly compensated.
However, it's already possible in some jurisdictions to play in the wholesale market with a home battery, and the same should apply for V2G.
If they were offering, say, $2/kwh for the electricity in my car battery, unless I needed to take a long trip immediately afterwards I'd very happily take it. Wholesale peaks can go even higher than that on occasion!
- p1mrx 3y agoHow many vehicle owners are flexible enough to give up driving for several days, in exchange for a $120 payout? I think EVs can smooth out the daily bumps, but we need something to stabilize the grid over longer periods without burning fossil fuels. At least for the US, lots of long-distance transmission should help, because weather events generally don't affect the entire country.
