The new company, ChargeScape, will create a platform that can be used by both utilities and EV owners to benefit from the expected surge in mobile batteries plugged into the grid.

If I owned an EV I would be too worried about battery degradation caused by the extra charge cycles to participate in anything like this.

@MutatedBass @ZeroCool I've seen somewhere mentioned that the batteries of EVs now 15+ years old didn't degrade that much, people still get a lot of range out of them.

Huh, that's pretty cool, I didn't know that.
