They already shook up the industry. This is why auto makers are interested in making EVs after decades of telling people that they don't want EVs. China, the world's largest car market, is saturated with EVs. Now China is exporting to countries that don't have as many EVs as China.

It's very similar to what Toyota did decades ago. Create a good product and expand.

Car makers blocked EVs for decades. Tesla fixed that problem. Now you can go out and buy a GM Bolt and not have to worry... wait. Never mind. I have been told GM discontinued it's best selling EV in history.

You didn't ask me to make a point.

I'd call it more than an experiment. I'm not aware of any such thing in USA but there's a few in China. There is one community in Florida though that is trying off grid. Not sure where they are these days.

And this article is from 2023.08.22. Self-consumption V2G system launched for Chinese national park

I'll have to see if I can find more. It's been awhile since I looked into V2G.

Not experimenting. Selling. V2G is much further along in different countries.

Battery banks are slightly different in that the primary purpose is not transportation.

The 1940 Packard was the first car to offer factory-installed air-conditioning.
By 1969, more than half of all new cars sold in USA were equipped with A/C.
In a 1971 front-page story, the New York Times implicated air-conditioning in the death of the convertible, postulating that: "In the age of air-conditioning, real air has lost its value."

This doesn’t seem to be necessary.
Seems like a bad idea.

It's necessary in China. It's a great idea in China. Why?

There are so many options that chipsets have become a customer demand.

Me personally I just like the ability to side load apps or download from Google store.

China has had EVs for awile. There are so many options that chipsets have become a customer demand. No one wants a laggy UI and they want enough power to run apps.

Similar to cell phones and laptops.

10 years from now Telsa won't have to do anything but just watch the numbers in their bank account keep going up from all the grid level batteries they'll have in place.
