We are transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, and the use of energy storage is becoming more widespread. And with the popularity of electric vehicles, the grid is under more and more pressure, so the demand for energy storage is growing. Battery storage.

If you’ve only ever driven conventional fuel vehicles, we’re here to explain this basic EV knowledge today. To put it simply, a kW is a measure of power, and a kWh is a measure of energy; power is the rate at which something uses energy, and energy is the capacity to do work. The Kilowatt. The Kilowatt-Hour.

The need for large-scale electrochemical energy storage as a grid-stabilizing source of demand disappeared. When utilities considered storage technology at all in the succeeding decades, it was generally in the form of pumped-storage hydropower, an expensive piece of infrastructure that could be built only in hilly terrain.

Now that phase is over, and companies are starting to place substantial orders, but they’re running into another hurdle—charging infrastructure needs to be built out, and managing it is a complex affair. These megawatt charging sites will be open to all fleet operators. These megawatt charging sites will be open to all fleet operators.

Sven Thesen, the communication and technology director for Better Place , a start-up that is gaining traction (see this recent New York Times article ) in its effort to create a network for electric cars in various countries, likened the concept of electric cars to cellphones. Charge, drain, repeat is extremely inefficient.
