And keep in mind it's to store energy from renewables (minus hydropower), i.e. mainly solar and wind. Solar is nonexistent at night. And although it varies, wind is generally strongest during the day and delivers less energy at night. But night-time is exactly when the vehicles are charged in people's homes, at least currently that's the situation and it would necessitate a ton of new infrastructure to change that. High voltage charging everywhere - ideally even DC charging and the necessary transformers, power cables etc. Even for street parking, because that's where a lot of cars are parked. So assuming there will be more EVs and we want to reach those net zero goals politicians always talk about we'd need charging stations everywhere.
Meanwhile in the real world, here is the result when the green revolution doesn't go as imagined, due to failures in planning and mismanagement. Case study Germany:
