The researchers also concluded that the energy market sector and its use of the lead-acid battery will continue to grow with significant expansion in use for storage in renewable energy systems. There will still be a need for a 12 V battery for the supply of auxiliary power that will not necessarily be a Pb-acid SLI battery.

A decade ago it became possible to get your electricity in the UK from a department store chain (though with the actual power supplied first by a Scottish utility and— as of 2018 —arranged and managed by Octopus Energy). Newer entrants, potential energy powerhouses, are on the rise in Italy, Spain and Denmark.

China is expected to maintain a 50% cost advantage in renewable energy up to 2050. Solar is cheapest and falling The significant drop in solar power costs, by 23% in 2023, signals the end of supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures. As a result, utility solar is now the cheapest power source in 11 out of 15 APAC countries.

Sodium-Ion batteries can be extensively used in smaller, low-range electric vehicles and stationary applications like home energy storage systems. Sodium-ion batteries work better in EVs that don’t need a large driving range, such as city cars small cars and last-mile delivery vehicles because of their lower energy density.

Such cities would become self-contained units, their buildings gleaning energy from the powerful weather systems sweeping across their roofs and feeding it down to homes below and vehicles in the streets. Electric cars in the garages would double as battery packs for when energy supplies are scarce. Cheers — Al Louard 11.
