Can/will the market adapt? - add a power section and a HV DC port to the house inverter - add a HV DC port to the traction battery on the hybrid cars - cable them together during low isolation periods or if you use more than your panels produce - add more solar when you can, if it's lower power cost than the hybrid car power cost, and you mostly produce less solar power than you use
If the utilities raise the base, there's more money in the market for alternatives. We're already headed there; seems like this move by the utilities would hasten V2H.
