I'm not too sure about all that De. To charge the battery
all one needs to do is rectify the AC into DC. To pull
power back off all those cars they will need an inverter
built into every charger to turn the battery DC back into
AC.

Not to mention that for such a scam, every battery car owner
should charge the utilities for the use of their batteries.

I can see it now . . . The utility has a very bad night and
they have to drain down every battery in a hundred mile
radius . . . and a LOT of folks battery powered cars don't
make it all the way to work.

Re: “I might be short-sighted in this regard ... only time will tell ... but, where Tesla is concerned, I don't think there's any there, there. ”
micro is mistaken when he says that the one thing Tesla does well is rockets. What Tesla does really, really, REALLY well is batteries. Engineers working for car makers chasing Tesla have said that Tesla has a ten year lead in the battery market.

Why do batteries matter? It's because in order for solar power to supplant fossil fuels, a means of storing enormous amounts of solar energy will be needed. Solar energy can only be produced when the sun is out, after all, but people need electricity 24/7.

The hope is that people's electric cars will provide all that storage. Folks can put their cars on the grid when they aren't being driven, and the utility companies will tap into their batteries.

I don't know if this is going to work, but if it does, it's going to be a sea change in places like California and Arizona. And it could make a fortune for Tesla.
