    Acorn,
    Putting aside the name calling I agree that a potential solution is the use of vast numbers of under-utilised vehicle batteries.

    This requires them to be hooked up at night to feed into the grid and a control system to these millions of vehicles to feed back within parameters set by the owner (to allow the owner to drive 600KM next day on the rare times they choose).

    That system and technology doesn't exist yet.

    In any case it relies on millions of EVs being bought and connected to the system and the grid being reengineered to take supply from millions of house back to industry.

    The engineering challenge and cost is huge. Huge numbers of batteries.
