The future of energy storage: are batteries the answer?
There are two ways that the batteries from an electric car can be used in energy storage. Firstly, through a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) system, where electric vehicles can be used as energy storage batteries, saving up energy to send back into the grid at peak times. Secondly, at the end of their first life powering the electric car, lithium-ion ...
Battery storage
At the University of Birmingham we recognise the electrification of transport is a significant industrial opportunity for the UK. With the lithium ion (Li ion) battery system representing approximately 50% of an electric vehicle''s value, a £5 billion annual market value in the UK and around £50 billion in Europe can be forecasted.
