This seems like building more batteries (just, with extra hardware).

An EV could be good for this sort of thing, but I guess it would have to sit around at less than 100% charge, to have the capacity.

We almost never charge our EV to 100%, to not degrade the battery faster.

    But, if you are going to offer “absorbing energy from the grid as a service” the capacity you have to offer can only be

      <absolute max that you are willing to charge your battery to> - <minimum that you are willing have your battery sitting at>

    There definitely could be some gap there, but it does depend on the car sitting at less than “full” (however you define full).
