Can we ever reasonably expect to use our cars for that, with vehicle2grid?

I have a ~60kWh battery sitting around in my garage, that I typically only use 10% for daily driving.

How many cycles is that battery good for, and how much would you have to be paid for some of those cycles. Electricity where I live is 10 cents a kWh so there is $6 of electricity in your battery. Is it worth an extra cycle Every day, halving the life of the battery, for some fraction of $6?
It might if it prevents buying an extra €6100 worth of batteries for the house.
