Xcel Energy has released the preliminary results from its wind-to-battery (W2B) storage project in Minnesota, and termed the technology successful. In October 2008, Xcel began testing a one-megawatt sodium-sulfur (NaS) battery ( earlier post ) to demonstrate its ability to store wind energy and move it to the electricity grid when needed.

Monique closes her EV’s fueling port and heads onto the highway with enough stored energy to drive 640 kilometers (400 miles). At the depot, the spent fuel could be recharged with electricity from any source—solar, wind, hydroelectric, nuclear, or fossil fuels. And at 80 percent, it’s 724 km (450 miles).

This is the case at our gigafactory in Europe, which relies on wind energy, and it’s also what we plan for our soon-to-come plant in Canada. It’s an extension of our current NMC battery technology portfolio, with high energy density targeting EVs with a 250-mile-plus driving range. Third is the choice of raw materials.

The batteries that use sodium instead of the pricey and rare lithium are the ones that are the closest to being on the market. By the end of 2023 and 2024, it is anticipated that the number of electric vehicles produced in the United States will rise by 300%. Major manufacturers will release new models of heavy-duty trucks and delivery vans.
