Thermal Energy Storage Is No Longer Just Hot Air

Cars That Think

Energy storage has two main factors—how fast it can be charged and discharged (the spigot) and how much total energy it can hold (the bathtub). Batteries have a powerful spigot, but that comes at the cost of a small tub. California already has this kind of time-of-use rate from electricity generated by solar or wind,” says Liu. “So
