ya feeding back the grid with your EV….I can’t even begin to explain how ignorant that notion is….

I'm sure you can't!! :h It's known as V2G and it will be ready when you are. Here's a Wiki link, they generally use easy words.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle-to-grid

Not sure why you feel the need to try to be condescending…. But I do feel bad, that you’re unable to understand how impractical and inefficient it would be for someone to plug in to charge their car and then use thier car battery bank to V2G…. Or were you only referring to the EV owners that have their own wind farms and solar arrays?
Good grief.

Well, you did call me a "Yosemite." Don't know what that is but probably not a compliment. Next there was "I can't even begin to explain how ignorant that notion is...." I think your rep here is keyboard bully. If you are going to dish it out, don't get butt hurt when you get some back.:W Anyway, back to V2G. Obviously it's not ready but it's being worked on by folks smarter than you and me. Turtle's link shows that the grid is taxed only a few hours a day. Storing energy and having it available when needed would keep us from having to increase the capacity of power plants just to satisfy a transient peak demand. Maybe think of it like a well filling a water tank.
