US power grid added battery equivalent of 20 nuclear reactors in past four years
Accelerating significantly this year. If EVs take off in US, it is yet another massive source of battery support for grid, that can drastically reduce net cost of EV.
Measuring storage capacity by peak discharge rate is meaningless.
I’d like to see a cost comparison. Like over the lifetime of one nuclear reactor (build, supply, run, dispose, decommission) how many grid batteries could we build, and would they give the equivalent amount of energy to the grid?
