Australia has been struggling with grid issues for years as climate change continues to get worse, causing hot summers with rampant wildfires and commensurate power outages. In hot climates and hot seasons, electric grids get stressed both simply from the heat itself and due to higher usage of air conditioning.

There are also structural challenges in the electricity system as grids and utilities in many countries struggle to cope with the increasing penetration of wind and solar in the generation mix. Coping with 25% or more variable generation is more difficult for grids and utilities than managing a 5% proportion.

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. The demands on the grid would require a lot of infrastructure work without some sort of "energy reservoir" in place.
