How odd. So many in the field say that rather than causing capacity issues, the storage capacity of electric vehicles tends to level demand by off-peak charging, thereby making gridded power more efficient overall.
Nocera’s argument, while not diminishing this off-peak storage practice’s points about efficiency, is that personal power is the solution: short term home storage fuel cell appliances analogous to water heaters or refridgerators for electric potential. Combined with Nocera’s personal power generation appliances, his gridless plan very much appeals to those who look to individual responsibility to resolve cost issues through innovation and the democracy of the Market.
