Malcolm we haven’t even discussed what will happen when V2G chargers become widely available. This will create a power station on wheels. Millions of vehicles with large batteries connected to the grid, batteries that can take electricity from or give it back to the grid.
Wigwam joked about the wind farms at night but just think of a time when every piece of electricity generated can be stored for future use. It’s not just wind farms either it’s hydro plants, they pump water back up to the reservoir at night because they f lack of demand. Not to mention solar panels, on a really sunny day from twelve o’clock today till three solar produces masses of electricity, with batteries this can be stored and used at peak times.
