What batteries?
If battery resources are diverted to grid storage then there won't be enough battery materials to build electric vehicles.
A big, heavy, low density, cheap, common material, thats also efficient like a lithium battery needs to be developed.
Pumped hydro uses 2 things we have a lot of. Steel pipe and energy.
Not as efficient as lithium chemistry, but there will never be tons of worn out batteries to recycle.
