The simple solution will be to implement bi directional charging and then use the family car to load balance the grid. Charge at night when power is cheapest and run the house off the car batteries if the price goes up because the grid is running low or just because you can. Not much more to say here. It is just like a computer cashing memory and disk space. Add a bit of solar to some of these homes and you dependence on the grid becomes minor. In this sophisticated tech world this concern was so nothing other than a business opportunity. 
With solar your own home becomes a type of hybrid house. Now who is not a fan of a good hybrid?  Out here in Kansas you can even buy houses with their own natural gas well. Imagine the possibilities. 

 

You don't quite get it do you? Europe don't have enough energy to start off with. Nordstream is gone. That's a big chunk of energy gone already. The nuclear plants are mostly winded down also. 

And 'bi-directional' charging is still considered infrastructure stuff, which is what I have been saying for the longest time. They don't just suddenly appear overnight in houses. You know how many households there are in Switzerland that needed that upgrade? And I am not even sure Ford sells the Lightning and also their bi-directional charger there.
