How does this compare to having a smaller battery in the car, with more energy storage on grid?

I see that this way there are lower transmission losses, but surely this is outweighed by spending extra energy carrying a larger battery around? (Plus more particulates from tyres.)

If people are going to buy oversized batteries for their cars anyway though, then sure, why not?

> Reduced Grid Load: By utilizing solar energy in this manner, we can significantly decrease the load on electrical grids during peak hours, reducing the need for extensive grid infrastructure.

Is driving a battery really more efficient than a few old copper wires sending high tension?
