That's really interesting because charging and discharging a battery costs 8 eurocents per KWh in wear on the battery alone.
The difference would have to be substantial to make up for that.
My impression why large parts of the States like electric heat are closely related to your Greek relatives, America is huge compared with the number of people that live in the inner portion of the continent, so the only places where adding a natural gas delivery system would make sense would be the densely populated ones.
Then there are large areas that have only a short heating season, there is the convenience issue (very little maintenance compared to heating oil or natural gas), and the perceived risk (which I think is largely misplaced).
The recent changes in the electricity prices have made people more conscious about this and there seems to be a trend towards more natural gas for heating purposes.
