The major driver for the project is the need to decarbonize the electrical grid, protect it from cybersecurity attacks and make it more resilient. At the other end of the grid, electric vehicles need charging for only a certain amount of time every day, and when not in use could be used as temporary batteries to store energy from renewables.
