That is, solar panels generate more energy during periods of direct sunlight, and wind turbines generate more energy during high winds.
As the energy industry embraces more of these alternative energy sources, grid-scale electricity storage becomes critical for storing electricity while it is being generated so that it can be consumed later.
Most EV batteries have the capacity to power a typical American home for days. As more consumers use electricity, utility providers can forgo the manufacturing costs associated with high-capacity batteries and instead utilize plug-in electric vehicles for electricity storage as they convert most of their electricity production to renewable energy . This approach will save utility companies costs and shorten the path to a carbon-neutral world.
