That’ll never work. Peak demand is in the morning when everyone is getting ready for work and evening when everyone gets home and makes dinner, does laundry etc. or when there’s a weather event. Those times vary slightly by geographical area and time zone. Do you want them trying to pull stored power from your EV when you are trying to charge it? Do you plug it in for their availability when it doesn’t need a charge? Doesn’t make sense to me.
