We have AEP and CMP which service millions of people on the east coast. One in the mid Atlantic and the other up north, they both have 1 thing in common. Public resentment and universal hatred by vast majority of their customers. I believe that the customer base will do nothing to help the power company.

In Virginia who has CMP one of the top reasons people give for switching to natural gas appliances is to lower their power bill. I happen to have a direct line into the PR office at CMP their head spin artist says they know people switch to gas because they hate us.

Most electric vehicle and plug in users struggle to have a simple 240v charging circuit installed and don't have a garage.
So the expectation that people are going to pay several thousand dollars for this system and to install this fancy 2 way charger system, presumably in a garage is very pie in the sky.
Plus the only charging protocol that will allow for 2 way power flow is chadmo.
J1772, tesla and CSS are specifically designed for 1 way power flow.
