Reply #57: I see your point but disagree as a point of policy

There are lots of opportunities to improve efficiency of existing systems with the use of storage. As we progress with renewables those opportunities will increase, and IMO the tide from that tide won't start cresting for at least 10 years. As a matter of public policy, the best way to stimulate the demand for storage (and thus the motivation to deploy and innovate) comes from the increased demand created by the increased penetration of renewables. This gives you far more bang for your buck than policy programs oriented heavily towards storage.

It would probably be wise to revisit the question of storage by EVs and the overall impact on storage that will have; the evidence is pretty convincing that you a missing a lot of the pieces of the puzzle. Recommend keyword "V2G" on google scholar.
