At the same time, batteries in electric vehicles offer large storage potential and thus can offer an additional way to compensate for these fluctuations. Pooling batteries of electric vehicles offers a power storage capability of significant size suitable for mass consumption, which can compensate for fluctuations in the power grid.

Widespread application of electrical power storage may require more abundant materials than those available in inorganics (which often require rare metals), and at a lower cost. Materials for charge storage are desired from easily accessible and renewable sources. —Milczarek and Inganäs. doi: 10.1126/science.1215159.

And, you have to recognize that they pull a hell of a lot of power through the local grid: there will come a time when we will see utility transformers popping from all the current being drawn (imagine just a few dozen EVs fast-charging simultaneously, on 480V at 500A: wow).
