EEA: large-scale roll-out of EVs will help EU shift to green transport, but may challenge power grid

Green Car Congress

However, widespread use of such vehicles would pose challenges for Europe’s power grid in meeting increased electricity demand. The need for extra power will be higher if other sectors like industry or households do not follow through on planned energy efficiency improvements. Assuming an 80% share of EVs in 2050.

China’s battery storage capacity growth likely to slow in 2024 – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Grid-connected battery farms back up renewables when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing and are considered important to help integrate clean energy into power grids. This is particularly important for China, which has minimal natural gas capacity, a more flexible power source than slow-ramping coal plants.
