Aug 6, 2025 · At this level, electric vehicles (EVs) can achieve price parity with gasoline-powered cars, making EVs the default choice for many consumers. For energy storage companies,
EV storage will not be significantly reduced by car sharing. With the growth of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in China, the mass production of EV batteries will not only drive down the costs of energy storage, but also increase the uptake of EVs. Together, this provides the means by which energy storage can be implemented in a cost-efficient way.
Mass EV production is driving battery cost reduction. By 2030, EV storage can significantly facilitate high VRE integration in China. EV storage will be more cost effective than stationary storage in the long term. Repurposing retired batteries shows diminishing cost competitiveness. EV storage will not be significantly reduced by car sharing.
The 2020 Cost and Performance Assessment analyzed energy storage systems from 2 to 10 hours. The 2022 Cost and Performance Assessment analyzes storage system at additional 24- and 100-hour durations.
To realize a future with high VRE penetration, policymakers and planners need knowledge of the role of EV storage in the energy system and how EV storage can be implemented in a cost-efficient way. This paper has investigated the future potential of EV storage and its application pathways in China.
The 2020 Cost and Performance Assessment provided installed costs for six energy storage technologies: lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, lead-acid batteries, vanadium redox flow batteries, pumped storage hydro, compressed-air energy storage, and hydrogen energy storage.
A potential capacity and cost comparison is conducted for each pathway, and it is concluded that EVs can achieve large scale energy storage effectively addressing the issue of intra-day power imbalance caused by the high penetration of variable renewable energy.
