Oh FFS. This is actually I think what the government HOPED would happen: rapid uptake of individuals investing MASSIVELY to shift demand. Those massive batteries are not going to sit empty, and the concerns of parts not rated for high speed charging and discharging, ummm... EVs have been doing this for ages... high speed DC charging is over 100 years old - early EV DC charging existed before AC won (and will eventually lose again, amusingly enough).
The more resilient the power networks, the better for everyone, and the faster many distributed batteries are deployed, the better. Though I think the future of power grid is ultimately doomed, this buys us some time.
