Bruegel: the battery capacity in Europe's electric vehicles is 10 times the stationary battery capacity connected to the grid.
It really is a huge opportunity, and unfortunately still too often a missed one. Outdated, inflexible tariffs and metering and grid requirements are too often standing in the way. As a result, there is a lack of attractive offers for both home and public charging rewarding flexibility.

I agree with this in very large part, although I want to be careful not to read it as dropping the responsibility on individual developers.
It’s perfectly fair to say, “I made something that might help people, so I’m sharing it, but I don’t have the capacity to support everyone who depends on it.” It’s also fair to say, “This thing would really help me, but I don’t have the capacity/ability to take on responsibility for its maintenance just so I can use it.”
No •individual• is in the wrong there. It’s a sign of broken systems and broken society that in such situations we so often cannot muster the collective capacity to support that kind of commons — the kind that exceeds the capacity of any individual maintainer — for the good of all of us.
