Anyone else see the flaw* in that plan?

*By flaw, I mean gaping chasm of unintended consequence that would swallow an electric trolleybus.

In an alternative universe the EVs are plugged into home chargers whenever they are not being driven.

The home/car owner uses their smart electricity meter to play the electricity markets by charging when the electricity is cheap and feeding into the grid when prices rise.

Maybe the car owners could be paid to feed electricity into the grid.

That leftie thinking is great, but what happens when you go to use the car and find out there's no sparkles left because you sold it all back to the grid ;D

Joking aside, you know this is when a parent/child gets rushed to hospital, or you oversleep because the bedside alarm didn't reset following the forced power cut.
