Novel concept, but i think it is a bad idea.

Sure, battery storage to stabelize is fine, but why would i want to lug those heavy batteries around in my car for the utility company, and what if i want to drive a long distance starting when they just drained my batteries? And am I responsible for replacing the batteries that they have over-used?

Put the batteries at the power generation station. Make them huge, expensive and highly efficient. Making people drive around with little bits of utility power lugging them down is just silly.
