Their low cost and ability to start the engine at cold temperatures sets them apart in conventional and basic micro-hybrid vehicles, and as auxiliary batteries in all other automotive applications, according to the report. In full-hybrid vehicles, the stored energy is also used for a certain range of electric driving.

Using a new metric—“Energy Stored on Invested, ESOI”—they concluded that batteries were the worst performers, while compressed air energy storage (CAES) performed the best, followed by pumped hydro storage (PHS). When demand is high, the water is released through turbines that generate electricity. —Charles Barnhart.
