“You got this opposite, completely wrong.

The electric vehicles will soon help prevent rolling blackouts. They will soon feed power back to the grid. They will charge at night, and discharge power to the grid during peak demand. OR, if there is a blackout will power the home. Remember, the battery will hold 500 miles of travel. Most commuters only need 20-40 miles a day, so they can charge when rates are low, or on low demand days.”


This is not the great idea it seems. One of the points of greater energy loss in the EV system is in battery charging. If there is a shortage of generating capacity or transmission capacity it needs to corrected by increasing the generation and/or transmission capacity, not by incurring losses by charging and discharging batteries.
