If I am mathing this correctly, a Tesla battery holds up to 100 kwh, and the peak spot price was $1000/mwh, so you could have theoretically made <$100 by not driving last night and selling the power from your battery to the grid?
And even if you don't have solar, you could have paid $200/mwh for power earlier in the day and sold it back at a higher price?

Again I'm not an expert in any of this but it would seem that for this concept to work it would be more efficient to have some sort of battery in your home. Your car likely isn't there charging during the day and you need it charged up in the morning. If that sort of battery tech is even realistic it would require a lot of investment to make it large scale. Regardless, that doesn't seem to be a solution that can be phased in to the masses by 2035. Seems to me there needs to be some sort of massive breakthrough in power storage or a big drop in consumption before we can phase out fossil fuels.
