   Or they could use EVs. Require cars to have V2X (Vehicle to Grid, Vehicle to Load) feature. EV batteries are humongous.

      Nah, people want to wake up in the morning and know they can drive somewhere.

      Requiring it is crazy.

         28% of trips are under a mile, 52% under three, 64% under five, 79% under ten, 93% under twenty-five, and 98% under 50 miles.

         Only 0.8% of the trips are over 100 miles!

               You can decide what level of charge to keep. Its is simple thing on the app. Or decide not to participate that day, again, a toggle on the app. Surely you'd know where you are going tomorrow?
