There is a sustainable deal that can work with negative prices. Charge EVs when price is negative and pay the carowners. For this, car owners have to be always plugged in (except the 20m - 1hour) that they drive. When demand peaks, the cars can supply power back to the grid and make even more money! Households can put solar panels, provide the entire energy infrastructure: production and storage.
Car batteries are ~6 times larger than powerwalls and powerwalls can make money supplying power back to the grid: https://electrek.co/2023/07/05/tesla-electric-customers-report-making-150-day/ https://electrek.co/2023/07/05/tesla-electric-customers-repo...
We don't need peak power infrastructure (natural gas) which runs only a few hours per day. All of it can be replaced by EVs.
