The cost of Li-ion batteries has plunged some 97% since their introduction three decades ago—a rate similar to the drop in solar panel prices. The contributions of high-level mechanisms to the cost decline of 18650-sized lithium-ion battery cells between the late 1990s and early 2010s. Ziegler et al.

Renewable Energy Integration HEMS can integrate with renewable energy sources such as solar panels or wind turbines, allowing users to maximize the use of clean energy. Because they usually sit for a long period of time, their charging can be shifted to periods when either solar generation is high or electricity prices are low.

Some types of Li-ion chemistries are really good in a few characteristics but fall short in other areas. Did my undergrad at MIT and then PhD at Berkeley, pretty much all in energy technologies—solar, hydrogen storage for fuel cell vehicles. This is particularly true of the next-gen chemistries you read headlines about.

MidAmericans David Sokol, BYDs Wang, and company advisor Li Lu flew with Sokol from Detroit to Omaha so that Wang could meet Buffett in person. They think BYD has a shot at becoming the worlds largest automaker, primarily by selling electric cars, as well as a leader in the fast-growing solar power industry.

One wonders if the recent headway at MIT in building lithium ion cells using ?virus? Ill never purchase one again, no matter what the mpgs. Plus you can use solar and break technology, as well as other more experimental technology, and never have to charge it because it would then charge itself. Interesting in any case.
