While V2G (Vehicle to Grid) sounds nice, the electrical company would need to pay me a whole lot to use my EV battery to power the grid. Why? It would be another charge cycle on my car battery and degrade it. Every cycle used by the electrical company is one I do not have to drive.
Time of use pricing shows when electricity the grid is heavily loaded. My my company that is:
$0.139 / kWh 6am - 3pm
$0.193 / kWh 3pm - 8pm
$0.139 / kWh 8pm - 10pm
$0.035 / kWh 10pm - 6am
Would I sell electricity to the electric company at $0.14? That depends on the price of a replacement battery.
