Batteries aren’t really suited for seasonal storage - they decay when fully charged.
And foreseeable future they provide such huge value for grid stability that it wouldn’t make sense economically either.
- PunchyHamster 10mo agolithium yearly discharge is in single digit %, what a nonsense argument.
- usrusr 10mo agoGP wasn't talking about discharge, losing a little energy, they were talking about wear and tear, as in the batteries aging fast while in a highly charged state. Battery recycling still hasn't really left the "we can do it in a lab" stage.
- adrianN 10mo agoThe supply side for battery recycling hasn’t really taken off yet. Wait another ten or twenty years until large numbers of electric cars reach eol.
