I love it. The elephant in the room with electric cars has always been the power grid. It is simply not capable of sustaining the energy equal to the amount of gasoline distributed to gas stations. The last rough measure I've seen was the grid is about 1/4 what it needs to be to sustain electric cars.
Having batteries as energy cache spread out around the network is a great idea and will offset the need to build out more power lines.
