I’d like to see these spread through neighborhoods, rather than at one central location. It would cut down on power outages due to storms/downed lines.

Home battery banks are a thing. EVs also work. We are moving towards virtual power plants and micro grids just that most power grids were not designed for power consumers to also be power generators. They are working through the technical standards like OCPP. ...

The large-scale electrification of vehicles, fleets, and marine ports presents a threat to the grid, and as such it is crucial to bring chargers into the equation of energy demand and response systems. The combination of the OCPP with the Open Automated Demand Response (OpenADR) protocol or the Open Smart Charging Protocol (OSCP) turns a charger into a flexibility provider that can react to changes in demand response (DR) within a distributed energy resource (DER) energy ecosystem. Accordingly, an uninformed charging process can be converted into a smart technique, which is able to throttle or postpone a charging process based on currently and locally available grid capacity.
