One thing I haven't seen much coverage on is how to tap into the giant batteries we're driving around in our electric vehicles. These are much bigger than what's currently being deployed in houses.

The V2H standards are just now coming online: https://electrek.co/2025/02/21/nema-bidirectional-ev-chargin...

There might not even be any need for V2G or V2H.

Just charging your car when the demand is low is probably enough to drastically reduce the overall cost of the system. And this has basically no impact on the battery lifespan.

High demand is not the sole reason for outages.
