What if instead of being primarily a transportation device, EVs primarily became - en masse - energy storage devices that could be tapped into by the grid any time there is a power demand?
Like the gig economy you could earn more per unit by being somewhere in demand with zonal pricing.

I’m sure there must be more to it than this but if it worked you’d be able to cut down on transmission losses and costs by a huge amount no?
