interesting model, curious how the contract actually works for EV owners. is it opt-in per charge session or a blanket agreement? and what happens if the grid pulls from your battery right before your morning commute? also wondering how transferable this is to markets where renewable generation is more geographically concentrated, china has massive wind/solar capacity but the curtailment problem is real because generation is so far from load centers. feels like the storage/dispatch problem is similar, just at a different scale. | ||

Don’t ask me why I’m bothering to post a YouTube link to HNews. Generally they’re scorned and ignored. However this has answered several questions I’ve had as to where all the grid battery in the UK has gone to. | ||
