Related to the climate change apocalypse, PG&E has Public Safety Power Shutoffs that impact especially people that live in high fire risk areas. People that have experienced shutoffs more than twice can get batteries reimbursed. [1]
With regard to the load balancing issue I was thinking more how I could rationalize a purchase of a car using proceeds from my electricity sales (as the car sits there). Neighbors’ summer A/C surge powered by my car at a high (but fair!) rate.

It seems like the sales pitch on this is always for emergency backup power. (And of course, Ford, advertising to Americans, will always go for the (always-afraid, but still) he-man survivalist meme.) But it seems that at least a decade ago, and perhaps two, when the need for load balancing to make wind or solar power at all compatible with current demand schedules, it was proposed that all these EVs we would be building anyway, should just be designed as part of the load-balancing capacity. I am surprised I see so little commentary about a system-level design for load balancing, using anything that has batteries in it to minimize duplicating and then under-utilizing storage capacity.
Or maybe there is such language, and like much else, I just don’t follow enough to know about it.

I totally don't need a pickup, but as the apocalypse approaches (pick your favorite!) this is kind of cool.

+1 Even though I have a pickup that I don't use as intended, my experiments with the motorcycle and bicycle for everyday commuting have failed for the most part. But I'd push for a compromise within a spectrum of non-car solutions, a manifold approach like:
1) ban all cars from downtown areas,
2) build bike-sized personal transport that doesn't depend on balanced control,
3) optimize for multi-person transport between dense populations and oft-traveled routes,
4) self-driving cars for diaspora into suburban/rural areas.
Bicycles/skateboards/scooters don't work for all sorts of reasons (sight, balance, carpal tunnel, rain/snow/ice, freight, etc.). People movers only work for some use cases. Etc. ≥4 person things like cars have obvious problems, but also obvious use cases.
Part of the problem, of course, would be to get enough people on board, to centralize the plan enough, to make it do any good ... for the climate or whatever problems we're trying to solve.

I think a global ban on automobiles would go a long way in GGE, without having to resort to nuclear winter and massive population culling. I am also a proponent of getting rid of automobiles because I am totally sick of them. I would really like to be able to leave my house without having to constantly dodge speeding hunks of metal.
