Heat Pumps with a thermal battery make a ton of sense and they’re available right now. The issue with them is that they need a LOT of space in order to work well and they’re expensive AF.
The YouTuber “Undecided with Matt Ferrell” recently did a video on them.

They solve different problems.
Advanced geothermal like this provides electricity on-demand, whenever you want it, reducing the need for storage.
Heat pumps move heat inside or into an industrial process, and use electricity in the process.
