@burger_jaap@mastodon.social around 15 or so years ago, China proposed taking this one step further. If you can state when you next need to drive your electric car when connecting it to a suitably adapted charger, the grid can balance energy further by taking energy from all the connected cars to supply a short term peak demand before charging them again. I don't know whether this was actually done but it was a genius idea.
