You can't guarantee industrial customers won't just increase their sales prices with supply. Consider normal EV chargers: They just spike the price for the user. And depending on the market, wholesale prices might be locked in for 24h or more so industry knows its day-to-day costs before it incurs them. Smashing up the prices for tomorrow can generate usage spikes today. Good controls for weather-based supply but not a feature in a national emergency.
Above all of this you still need to be able to prioritise physical circuits for healthcare, security, groceries and homes, and be able to cut off others.
That said, Gogoro seem to be more about overselling contracts so spiking price probably would make shut down themselves.
