Forget that I said "my neighbour's car" and think "my car" instead. It doesn't really matter if it's my car, my neighbour's car, his neighbour's car, etc.
No, I can't. You brought it up to negate one of my points, now I should forget it because it doesn't do what you want? Also, when I followed in including your neighbour into the discussion, my point wasn't limited to selectively picking one person, it referred to a situation.
My first point was, however, that if you produce the energy somewhere, it doesn't make sense to transport it somewhere else to store it in a BEV to then sell it to someone probably quite far away again (because at that level your neighbour can't have a shortage in production if you're having a surplus in production), then retransporting other energy to the parked car. It is much simpler to design storing facilities next to the production sites.
I'm not sure I understand that sentence
Either you are trying to change the topic of the discussion, or you don't read what I said. I'll repost it:
"However, that is already out of the point: I haven't said battery can't be a good way to store excess energy, I said BEVs' batteries are a worse way to do so than stationary storage facilities, even battery ones."
Please,why answer "France" if I ask you "what time is it"?"
See above, for meaningful LiIon self-discharge you'd have to leave your car sitting around for months.
no, no no.
I'll repost my sentence with explanation, to show how you interpreted what I said in the wrong way:
"You're not storing any -excess- energy if you are charging a BEV, because it's meant to be used before the energy dies out to nothing."
(i.e. before whatever time it takes for the battery to die out naturally, as long as it may be; a car -is made- to be driven)
"If you charge a car and not use it before the charge dies out naturally, you don't have excess energy, you have an excess car"
(because if you don't drive it for that long, what the heck have you bought a car for?)
"that you could do without by only having a stationary battery doing exactly the same thing."
(If that's the case, it' way less expensive to build a stationary battery than a car you won't use)
Everything started because I said that -excess- energy is not -excess- energy if it's stored in a car, because that car is designed to use that energy to move around; excess energy only starts to be produced when the car is fully charged.
Linking the consumers to storage means you transport the energy long-distance to the consumers once, say offshore wind farm over here and solar arrays over there both to a metropolitan area, and then use it where it's needed next.
You don't know if it'll be near to the cars you put it into.
Linking a wind generator or solar array to geographically-dedicated storage means you have a very short distance to store energy from that source, but a very long distance to store energy from other sources.
You are willingly misinterpreting my words and overcomplicating them. For the last time, I'll put it to you in a simple way:
1)you produce energy.
2)you store the excess energy you produced next to where you have produced it.
3)you transport the excess energy to sell it once you know where it's needed. Having storing facilities -next- to the production sites, or as close as possible, means less transport losses than moving it around to store it in countless BEVs on the territory without even knowing where it will be needed again before transporting it again.
On average, the distance covered for bringing it from the production sites to the BEVs will be higher than storing it into nearby storing facilities. To that, add again that the energy stored in a car is not -excess- energy, because the car is -meant- to use it by driving around, so it will need to be recharged again to be used as a car, whereas a storing facility doesn't -need- to be charged if there is no excess energy produced.
You can't be more strategically placed than literally everywhere. Distributed redundant networks implicitly boost resilience as well - if your suburb gets disconnected from the grid you could still have a basic PV/BEV generation and storage grid up and running. With large-scale stationary facilities elsewhere, you'd be cut off from storage and your PV arrays generate electricity when you maybe don't need it.
You don't have to renounce private PV... I never made that point, and you putting things in my mouth I haven't said is a fallacy.
You won't get any proof, just logic.
You aren't answering what I have asked.
A big cost factor in BEVs is capacity to allow for a great range... yet most people don't use all that range most days. So you have bought that capacity, and aren't using it most of the time - might as well make money off the investment you already made, and sell some of that capacity to the grid on days you don't need it.
Buying energy from the grid to sell it to the same grid is not an investment, it's madness. The same subject who gave you an amount of energy for a fee won't pay you higher for -less- energy (take into account tranportation losses). It simply won't work. Either you or the utility company will lose the money relative to the transportation losses, and it won't be them.
The wear on the battery might be identical, whether in a car or in a warehouse somewhere, so I don't see why the grid shouldn't compensate you for that wear
So you're getting free battery wear? Nice investment for sure. Go on and continue like that, you'll be amazed by how much the company will love you for paying their costs.
just as they'd pay for that wear to their own batteries.
To put it even clearer: if I was the company, I'd much rather have -you- pay for the battery then be paying it myself. FAR less problems and risks...
However, they don't need to invest in capacity up front so logically your compensation can be higher than the cost of battery wear alone.
Transportation losses would be lower because you don't need to transport power from distributed generation to centralized storage back to distributed users
Again, you are putting words and concepts in my mouth which I have never uttered.
You're providing the answer yourself. Right now, producers are hurting themselves/each other with low prices - e.g. Saudi Arabia vs Iran. Logically, this can't go on forever.
No, it can't. But I think you haven't fully understood why it's happening.
As for new power sources, those hardly offset the increased demand globally
Wasn't Germany producing 30% off of renewable sources? And growing? Your idea is a bit too old. It is one of the reasons why oil is so low in price.
However, that's another point, and I don't want to get into it, seen how you handle the others.

Narf, you have several problems following what I said and not going out of the things and not misinterpreting my words. Please stop, or I won't continue this talk.
P.S.
