Large commercial customers can get an "interruptible" rate, extra cheap power that the power company can cut at will. At least that was so on Oahu. HECO also extended this to electric water heaters in homes. For a small rebate they would install a remotely controllable disconnect on the water heater. Anyway, I personally would not have vehicle to grid charging but I would have vehicle to home charging. The most I would give the power company would be to allow them to cut my utility power when they wanted. I'd have batteries and panels and probably wouldn't be buying that much electricity from them anyway, and that only at night so I could baby my batteries and minimize cycling or run things like aquaculture pumps overnight.
