2021 was a big year for energy-related news, what with the ongoing hunt for new forms of energy storage and cleaner if not carbon-free electricity and events and research that spotlighted the weak links in our power grid. No battery is perfect, however, so engineers keep pushing for new and improved ways to store those electrons.

And with the popularity of electric vehicles, the grid is under more and more pressure, so the demand for energy storage is growing. This article will answer your confusion. Just like we put food in the refrigerator, we can store it for days or weeks without eating it immediately or discarding it. Mechanical storage.

And in a true smart grid, electric cars will not only be able to draw on electricity to run their motors, they will also be able to do the reverse: send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid when it is needed. In effect, cars would be acting like tiny power stations. While utilities such as E.ON
