extra storage comes at an initial and ongoing cost though. In some cases it can make good sense (like charging one EV battery pack while driving on the other, as EV's are the cause of the usage spike anyway in this discussion and can take a while to recharge).

In other cases it is a one size fits all solution, and leakage and other losses come into play on a much larger scale.
