Gasoline is too cheap. The challenge is demand creation. If you build it, they aren’t coming. —Mary Ann Wright. If you add up all the US battery capacity planned between now and 2015 announced as a result of ARRA funding, Wright said, you find about 4 million units of capacity. Demand is about 2 million.

Then, as electricity entrepreneurs expanded power generation and transmission capacity, they faced the new problem of what to do with all the cheap off-peak, nighttime electricity they could now produce. The need for large-scale electrochemical energy storage as a grid-stabilizing source of demand disappeared.
