I'd like to see a system that can connect an EV to the house in case of a power outage. This would completely eliminate the need for home power storage or power generators.
Battery grid storage seems silly now but what about when solar and wind become more than just a drop in the bucket of the base load? This is the aspect that the anti nuclear crowd is totally unaware of (ignorant bliss). The grid doesn't function unless it is rock solid or things start browning out and burning up.
