Classification of potential electrical storage for stationary applications. While there has been an increased interest and attempts to improve stationary storage, investment in the area is still limited in comparison with that of Li-ion batteries for vehicle applications.

Well, then, youre back to coal burning power plants, and a dirty little secret the H2 hypers dont like to discuss: The electrical storage efficiency of water electrolysis, compression for storage, and PEM fuel cell combined is only 23%. The combined electrical storage efficiency of charger and batteries is 85%.

The energy from the EV batteries is available to the electric grid to serve peak needs, with the vehicles recharging during non-peak hours. Using EVs as decentralized electric storage resources, or batteries on wheels, minimizes the need for capital investments in the grid to support ever-increasing demand, while lowering operating costs.

Yet whenever we troublemakers raised this issue, we were told not to worry – it would resolve itself, they said, either because wind is usually blowing somewhere, or through the development of electricity storage in giant battery farms. This was plain wrong.
