Maybe yes, maybe no.  Maybe having the storage available provides
more of an incentive for the grid operator to experiment with 
time-of-day pricing than has been the case in the past.  Hard for
me to see how you can argue that EVs will have *no* impact on
--hmm, what shall we call it, time elasticity?--of demand.

Dunno who the "same folks" were, I wasn't one of them.
