Using Electric Vehicles (EVs) in a residential eCat NGU powered scenario…
The use of eCat NGU technology with Grid-tie and off-Grid systems have been discussed. One of the costly items is the system storage battery. It is necessary for handling large transient loads associated with turning on motors (air conditioning, pumps, etc.) and for Grid power outages.
Large storage battery systems cab expensive, costing about $250 USD per kW-hr of storage capacity. While a small battery system might still be needed for transient needs, perhaps the battery system in EVs could be used for long periods of Grid outages.
Some EV firms are developing the mechanisms where the energy stored in the EV battery could be accessed by the residential inverter. Since the EV battery was already paid for when the EV was purchased, it could become a low-cost way of supplementing residential battery capacity.
If properly implemented, it could be used to “sell back” electricity to the Grid during high demand periods, then refilled during low demand periods by eCat NGU devices.

Not so far,

I think you are right
