Energy storage technology is seen as a way to help even out the imbalance in supply and demand by storing excess energy during periods of high production and using it when needed. Recent years have seen the construction of large lithium-ion battery farms that do just that.

Vattenfall and the BMW Group have signed a contract for the delivery of up to 1,000 lithium-ion batteries this year. Vattenfall will purchase the new batteries from the BMW plant in Dingolfing and use them in all storage projects. Other possible applications would be electricity storage in private households.

Roev also plans to use lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, similar to those used in Rear-Wheel Drive versions of the Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y. Without nickel and cobalt – two of the more expensive materials in many lithium-ion batteries – the batteries in the Roev EVs should be cheaper to manufacture.
