For such a stupid notion, it seems V2G is better developed than I thought. Here's what Porsche is up to https://electrek.co/2022/04/08/porsche-proves-the-benefits-of-v2g-technology-by-pooling-its-evs-together-to-help-stabilize-electrical-grids/ Of course, they are probably math challenged morons who reached their peak in HS algebra!
Look, smart people work on stupid ideas all the time. Companies invest in stupid research ideas expecting to salvage something useful out of the research. In the case of your article on Porsche, it is briefly mentioned that this research could result in a product that competes with the Tesla Powerwall.
Previously Gritdog said "Or were you only referring to the EV owners that have their own wind farms and solar arrays?" It looks like this is Porsche's target with V2G.
Porsche already markets around the fringes so adding another fringe device is no big deal. Just don't expect it to be widespread by 2030 like at least one commenter on the article says.
