Accelerated deployment of EVs and battery storage has the potential to meet this TWh challenge. It is critical to develop new mechanisms to manage and control the whole energy infrastructure, including the charging and discharging of EVs.
The question is how to meet the 5.5 TWh storage challenge. Parallel approaches should be followed to maximize the benefits of all resources, including high renewable generation, batteries, pumped hydro, and compressed air if available.
If 25 % of the capacity can be used for storage, the 120 million fleet will provide 3.75 TWh capacity, which represents a large fraction of the 5.5 TWh capacity needed. In addition, industry is ramping up battery manufacturing just for stationary and mobile storage applications.
For an average household in the US, the electricity consumption is less than 30 kWh. A 100 kWh EV battery pack can easily provide storage capacity for 12 h, which exceeds the capacity of most standalone household energy storage devices on the market already.
Accelerating the deployment of electric vehicles and battery production has the potential to provide TWh scale storage capability for renewable energy to meet the majority of the electricity needs.
