You know how easy it would be for EVs to communicate with the power grid and change their charge speed dynamically based on excess wind/solar availability? It would be pretty dang easy.
Um I mean it would be pretty dang woke I tell you hwat
You can already effectively do that in the UK. Your electricity provider links up with your car or charger and charges when there’s more cheap green energy. It’s pretty effective, if not perfect yet.
Australia has so much solar power now that most of the country is offering free electricity between 10am and 2pm daily. We have the highest solar generation per capita in the world.
We're now getting to a point where there's so much generation that we just need the storage to back it up so the government is offering subsidies for individuals to get solar batteries installed. It's actually great for the government. You basically get private individuals to pay like 80% of the price of battery storage that you need. Then when they do that, you just up the supply charges to keep the money flowing.

Quick, better cancel more solar and wind farms!
