V2G solved this yeah: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle-to-grid

Maybe it will some day. I have two electric cars in my garage sitting idle most of the day and night. I have no way to connect them to the grid in a bidirectional manner. There is nothing a local electrician can order and install for me that will allow it. If I had a Ford Lightning truck, they could get me a proprietary Ford Charge Station Pro (which doesn't use ISO 15118-2), that's about it.
This article is about power transit, not about fixing production peaks. V2G is not a solution here.
