Yes, some ev owners would be reluctant to increase the use of their batteries. Particularly those from the Leaf air cooled battery days.

However, we have learned heaps about battery management since then. That's why Tesla is talking about the ' million mile battery ' where it is expected the battery will easily outlive the car. That's why Lexus if offering a 10 year battery warranty.

Also, once people are getting paid for the use of their car battery, I'm sure they'll change their tune.

The ev batteries will only need to be utilised for very short periods so capacity will only be slightly affected. Nothing like driving an ev.

E.g. Utilising 20kwh ( less than half of the smallest car ) of an ev battery would mean that if we connected 175,000 evs we would have the equivalent of Australia's largest coal fired complex ( Loy Yang A and B ) as a peaker available instantly for grid support.

Note: we buy around 1 million vehicles in Australia per year. It's pretty easy to see how valuable an electric fleet would be for grid support while using very little of any ev connected.

Cars are parked for 95% of their lives. So, 50% of Australia's car fleet is probably parked at any one time. There are nearly 20 million registered vehicles in Australia so it;s quite feasible that 5 million of them could be connected at any one time.

That is a shipload of grid support that comes for almost free.

Your assuming that people are OK to use the car battery & have less than 100% available for the commute...opps sorry 80% avaiable for the commute as 100% degrades the battery life significantly.

If you want to do taht range needs to be far beyond 1,000 k's on a charge....how big is that battery with current teck???drg a trailer behind carrying the battery seems like false economy.
