Since the year 2000, grid output has dropped about 10% due directly to the efficiency of appliances dictated by the government. Peak electric output will actually decrease because your car battery can operate your house in the afternoon during peak hours and recharge when rates are lowest in the middle of the night.
Cars are meant for driving, not for powering your house. Industry takes the most power, so reducing the power demand from your vacuum cleaner or hair dryer makes zero difference to the grid. Great theory, but nowhere has achieved this utopia, and likely never will...
@@Ironic1950 "Cars are meant for driving, not for powering your house." You are telling me it is impossible to take power out of a 480v DC battery and convert it into 120v AC? The average miles driven per day is about 35 miles. That leaves a couple hundred miles worth of power to drive your house in the evening. A battery is a battery. The biggest factors involved in using an EV to power a home are the size of the vehicle's battery and whether it is set up for “bidirectional charging”. Vehicles with this capacity can use electricity to charge their batteries and can send electricity from a charged battery back to your house.
@@aliendroneservices6621 "Electricity metering needs to be banned everywhere." Why would that be? I've been making money off the grid for a couple decades. I compete directly against peaker plants. I get a check from the power company every month. Are you a communist or what?
