This is a fantastic article on the real world pros and shortcomings of V2G.

"What’s more, when we looked at data from other ACT government vehicles parked in these properties, we found 23 were charging throughout the event. Again this directly obstructs power system recovery. There would have been absolutely no inconvenience or cost for the vehicles to delay charging for an hour or two. "

There are some very "of course we should have thought of that!" moments that highlight not only the potential, but also the work ahead to make it a positive reality. Much more good than bad here.
