Thats smart:
A dutch energy utility called Tennet gives 100 Tesla drivers a fee for the right to decide outside of reserved hours to load the battery faster or slower due to grid optimization needs. The objective is to stabilize the grid in hours of low green energy production.
If a lot of green energy is available your car will charge faster if supply is low it will be slower. By doing that you utilize the combined amount of batteries in the EVs like a buffer to reduce so far required (carbon) power plant support in shortages.
Netzbetreiber Tennet macht Teslas zu Strompuffern | bizz-energy.com (in German)
The TCO advantage for EVs as well as utilities enters in a new level.
Also compare to what the Australian Tesla Battery saved lately: Tesla's Australian battery shows it can also make huge profits
Thats the same concept.
