A big grid battery won't do the laundy either. It won't brush your teeth. It won't wipe your *.
It will just do what it was designed to do.
There's no such thing as a 50 GW power station.

A power plant would cost about $900 - $5,000 per kW to build, depending on the energy source. https://www.eia.gov/electricity/generatorcosts/
Those (2016) numbers are outdated though, Tesla's 100 MW battery would cost 176.3 million by their reckoning.
