I definitely would like to see incentives for installing "depleted"
batteries as solar and wind backup.
We're at a point in time where we can promote both wind and solar while
winding down coal and gas power generation. Clearly, before we can
retire all mined-resource power generation (primarily coal, gas,
nuclear), we need ways to store power for times when wind and solar
don't generate enough.
Soon, we will begin to see a flood of depleted batteries from EVs. With
incentives, the price offered for these used batteries would be higher,
helping to lift the value of used EVs and increasing the demand for new
EVs while at the same time helping to build our wind and solar
infrastructure.
In other words, right now, the need for utility level battery storage is
low. But, gradually, as we retire coal & other plants, we can be
building utility battery storage and boosting EV production and sales.
The sooner, the better, in my opinion.

Why aren't they installing these power-walls at well used L3 EVSE

Is there a major utility complaint that highly used L3 EVSE puts a
high
demand on the grid?
That the EV's power demand during peak HVAC power periods are counter
productive?
I think that a prime candidate is this L3 station at Arlington City
Hall,
OR (http://api.plugshare.com/view/location/47270). It is in a "desert"
of
charging stations along I-84 and looking at the comments it is the
power
company that is charging too much. Too bad the owner just doesn't put
the
cost to charge to what it would cost for the power, at least initially.
Even a battery unit that didn't have enough to fully charge a car could
be
used in combination with the grid where the grid is used to just below
the
demand charge threshold and the battery supplying the rest. When the
car
stops charging the battery unit would charge back up in anticipation of
the
next vehicle.
