According to figures from the German Ministry for the Economy and Energy (BMWi), 40 to 45 percent of power consumed in Germany is to be generated from renewable resources by 2025, increasing to 55 to 60 percent by 2035. The lifecycle of a plug-in or electric vehicle battery does not end after the vehicle’s operating life.

While theoretically, increased use of wind and solar power also increases the need for balancing power, empirical evidence in Germany suggests otherwise. Since 2008, installed wind and solar capacity in Germany tripled. At the same time, balancing power reserves decreased by 20%. The German Balancing Paradox.

Giving drivers the convenience of charging their vehicles when they are away from home, charge stations have already been with us for some time and are now being installed in at a quickening pace. Of course, EVs that arent designed for battery swaps wont use it, and plug-in hybrids wont need it. Finally, there are charging stations.
