Interesting results!

However, you missed one important aspect. EV, and battery, owners can earn the cost of their battery back in a few years by organizing as a group, and create a virtual powerplant, or grid-cloud.

Furthermore, as an owner of a EV that is charging outside in the parking lot, I will only be at ease with a mobile that shows the real-time charging result, an a picture of the webcam on my EV, that shows that nobody is tampering with the charging or delivery of my electricity to the grid.

And your assumption that the local low voltage grid capacity is insufficient, is incorrect. Of course a real mass introduction should come with smart battery chargers that are aware of the grid capacity during the connection period and available rest capacity of the grid, an required power.

So your real competitor is the power grid operatior, a state owned monopolist institution, that want to prevent your customers from earning some money wuth their battery and smart charger, and keep that profit from themselves.

Checkout how they are not making any progress with communications standards for the smart battery charger. Probably the c,mm,n community has to establish this standard, and the smart charger too.
