Researchers at Imperial College London (ICL) developed a model to determine the lifetime costs (i.e., levelized cost)—as opposed to the investment cost—of 9 electricity storage technologies for 12 different applications between 2015 and 2050. An open-access paper on their work is published in the journal Joule.

The electric Mini is unlikely to go into production in its present form. Freight Bus was one of the losing entrants in London mayor Boris Johnson’scompetition to design a new bus for the capital. Only when we have an efficient method of electricity storage will the electric car/van/bus become a viable proposition.
