>> I envision a future where individual appliances (including EVs) can opt in to spot pricing for the electricity they consume (or produce).

I remember when high speed internet was coming into being and there were a lot of pundits talking about how high speed bandwidth would be sold as a commodity on the NYSE. If someone needed say an hour of high bandwidth for a video conference, they could do what you're saying, buy an hour of high speed access. Of course, high speed internet eventually became so cheap and so readily available, those ideas faded pretty fast.

I might be remembering this wrong, but wasn't Enron doing what you're talking about?
