The company is building these shipping container systems, which work like giant batteries that store energy as heat and pressurized air , rather than a chemical reaction (Cheesecake’s name is derived from a nerdy acronym for their technology.) Recent years have seen the construction of large lithium-ion battery farms that do just that.

Volvo Buses in project researching use of second-life electric bus batteries to store solar energy

Green Car Congress

DECEMBER 10, 2018

Volvo Buses is participating in a research project in which used electric bus batteries are used as solar energy storage units. Batteries from electric bus route 55 in Gothenburg, Sweden are being used for solar energy storage in a second-life application. —Ylva Olofsson, Project Coordinator at Volvo.

Graphite contains flat layers of carbon atoms, and during battery charging, lithium atoms are stored between these layers in a process called intercalation. The researchers made an anode from the laser-scribed material and tested it in a lithium-ion battery over 1000 charge-discharge cycles. —Bayhan et al.

European Researchers Developing Multifunctional Structural Composite Material That Can Double as Energy Storage

Green Car Congress

FEBRUARY 5, 2010

Researchers from Imperial College London and their European partners, including Volvo Car Corporation, are developing a prototype multifunctional structural composite material composed of carbon fibers and a polymer resin which can store and discharge electrical energy and which is also strong and lightweight enough to be used for car parts.

A decade ago it became possible to get your electricity in the UK from a department store chain (though with the actual power supplied first by a Scottish utility and— as of 2018 —arranged and managed by Octopus Energy). Without it, you are not going to get there." That would be something to reckon with.

Study Finds PHEV Li-ion Cells Show Little Capacity Fade Under Combined Driving and V2G Usage; Economic Model Suggests Incentives Will Be Required for Vehicle Owners to Participate in V2G

Rather, it is the integrated number of lithium ions that have been intercalated/de-intercalated into the electrodes, regardless of the DoD at which these events occur. In the absence of such incentives, it is unlikely that large-scale grid energy storage in PHEVs will be attractive to a large number of vehicle owners.

However, in a companion paper assessing the economics of V2G for consumers, they also concluded that the maximum annual profit for a PHEV owner to engage in V2G (~$10-$120) would likely prove insufficient to encourage use of the battery pack for grid electricity storage and later off-vehicle use.

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.
