There is a pretty high percentage of cars parked at home during the day. I recall seeing something along the lines of 40-60%. Edit: ABS 2021 says 53% only drove. That number decreased from 62% in 2016.

I thought the idea was if you bought an EV, you used your EV as the battery storage so you didn't need to have both EV and separate battery storage.

ie, it assumes you have/will have an EV to do car stuff, not that you buy the EV specifically for battery storage.
