but home charging is typically during hours where renewable output is at its lowest. would be amazing if/when all EVs are automatically grid-connected when not in motion. instead of expensive centralized energy storage in giant megapacks, we have low-cost (but stochastic) decentralized storage that is available when renewable generation is at its peak.

Depends on the country I suppose. In Scotland we have lots of wind excess at night. https://electricityproduction.uk/in/scotland/

(Note it was a wind storm last night for the whole of the UK)

The electricity company charge my car overnight on a schedule that they set. They charge in 30 minute chunks, stopping and starting the charge multiple times to optimise the network.
