I am imagining this scenario: “ChargeScape” will become the future “pharmacy benefit managers” between state and federal grid operators and power storage entities (ie, whether it’s from an EV or some independently owned array of storage cells).
They will handle and negotiate the deals between these 2 entities. You will have no say in this matter and “ChargeScape” will always be taking their % from the power YOU supplied to the grid.
The area you moved into has a number of fees and costs which make charging for the grid a loss operation? Too bad.
“Fuck you, pay me”
You didn’t charge your EV during the mandated time as laid out in the ChargeScape contract? Electrical company will now charge you a higher rate for that month to recoup costs of dealing with violation. Can’t afford it?
“Fuck you, pay me”
Didn’t meet the quota for the month? Here’s a violation fee for the month and an improvement plan has been generated. Failure to meet quota for 2 consecutive months results in higher rates. Can’t afford it?
