Wouldn't a battery bank/wall be the buffer that would solve this problem? The battery bank could be supplied by an electric vehicle, plugged in when at rest for such a purpose.


Don't quote me on this but usually, regular batteries usually don't allow for such an instantaneous draw.

Lithium batteries like you find in electric cars probably can support this but it does require a certain additional upfront investment.


fair enough - i did just assume that this could be built "easily".


It can be built easily, but perhaps not yet cheaply. Just buy a Tesla PowerWall or similar.
