Yeah I was thinking more like moving the energy around and thinking more like finding a discharging station and get free parking/paid for discharging at an establishment. Might even make sense in people bringing power to tourist towns, so as to reduce strain on smaller grids, but in a home in a city... I don't get it unless there's a ton of idle, rarely used EVs.
The battery from car into grid article started sounding like a weird way to describe the electricity company momentarily stopping power provided to your home and using you car to power your home, or something.
