As countries transition away from fossil fuels to green sources of energy like wind and solar, there will be natural lulls in energy production due to weather conditions. Energy consumption also tends to peak during early evening hours , which is inconveniently right when solar energy output decreases.

The performance of the ReFactory will also relate to the ability to generate closed-loop supply flows with controlled costs (reuse, recycling for repair), and to develop new value-added skills (retrofitting, dismantling, fleet maintenance, preparation of batteries for the second life, etc.)

Classification of potential electrical storage for stationary applications. To be successful, systems will need to evolve—in some cases, considerably—to compete financially with the cost of natural gas production. Among the most important factors are capital cost and life-cycle cost. Click to enlarge.

Roev also plans to use lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, similar to those used in Rear-Wheel Drive versions of the Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y. Without nickel and cobalt – two of the more expensive materials in many lithium-ion batteries – the batteries in the Roev EVs should be cheaper to manufacture.

Batteries, particularly lithium-ion, store large amounts of energy but have more difficulty with high power or fast recharge. Electrostatic capacitors are characterized by high power but energy storage is limited because only surface charge is used. Gary Rubloff.
