These 10 U.S. states have the most battery storage capacity installed

Teslarati

states have installed substantially more energy storage systems than others, making up the vast majority of battery capacity available. The data shows that California leads energy storage availability by a wide margin, with just over 7.3 GW (3,167 MW) installed, while Arizona, Florida, and Massachusetts are next in the lineup.

What Does Battery Storage Mean for EV Drivers?

Blink Charging

In 2030, McKinsey estimates that there may be as many as 48 million EVs plugging into the US power grid, which means that utility providers are already preparing for the increased load. This helps offset the cost of demand fees. For example: Let’s consider a site host that has a DCFC that is connected directly to the electricity grid.

CMU county-level study shows plug-ins have larger or smaller lifecycle GHG than gasoline ICE depending on regional factors

Green Car Congress

Jeremy Michalek accounted for regional differences in emissions due to marginal grid mix; ambient temperature; patterns of vehicle miles traveled (VMT); and driving conditions (city versus highway). The researchers said this is due to the combined effect of grid carbon intensity, highway driving, and regional temperature.

CMU team finds regional temperature differences have significant impact on EV efficiency, range and emissions

Green Car Congress

Energy consumption per mile averaged across the LEAF fleet over a full year (Wh/mi). At cold temperatures, battery efficiency, discharge capability and available energy decreases. Reduced efficiency results in increased energy consumption and increased emissions from the electricity grid when BEVs charge. Click to enlarge.
