    If most people, and their cars, are at work or on the way home who’s using all the electricity lol.

    Below is a table showing the efficiency of various power plants, these figures are for production of electricity only. We can argue about these figures but the important thing to note is that losses are encountered every where with regard to producing electricity, so getting bogged down on the odd 10% here and there is pointless. The main point is that without V2G chargers it will cost the Government (i.e us) Billions to provide subsidies to energy providers to store the electricity generated for use when we need it.

    Taking small amounts of electricity from a BEV does not count as a cycle, we are talking a few KWh from millions of car batteries.
