Who knows what charging standards will exist a quarter century from now? Just think of what's changed since 2000. You probably went from no cell phone and hardly using the internet for anything to using the internet on your cell phone for just about everything.
Regarding people not wanting to wear their EV battery by participating in V2G; setting upper and lower limits to drastically reduce wear to near zero will alleviate those concerns, and providing economic incentives will be sufficient to get wide participation. We don't need oil pan's Leaf on the grid when we've got hundreds of thousands of other vehicles connected.

The belief that technology is a savior is a form of foolishness. It’s takes very little to upset an increasingly delicate energy “system”. If that upset becomes in any way systemic fact, the money needed won’t be forthcoming on national much less an international scale.
Were this 1969, time and greater robustness would allow mistakes and changes. That era closed its window.
