In a world rapidly transitioning to renewable energy, what technology stands as the linchpin between intermittent generation and consistent demand?
Since the 1990s, no other energy technology has experienced more dramatic cost reductions than batteries, with prices plummeting by more than 100% – outpacing even wind and solar PV!
As renewables continue their expansion across global energy grids, the mismatch between when clean energy is generated and when consumers need it creates a critical gap that only one technology can fill.
But what exactly are batteries? Are they generation sources, consumption devices, or something else entirely?
What makes batteries particularly fascinating is their versatility across scales. From household systems paired with rooftop solar to massive deployments stabilizing entire electrical grids – batteries adapt to meet diverse needs.
But this revolutionary technology isn't without challenges.
In this captivating episode of Crispy PerspectiEVs, host Sahil Bhandare engages in an illuminating conversation with Kedar Balasubramanian, exploring why our energy future is incomplete without batteries.
Whether you're an energy enthusiast or simply curious about the technologies shaping our future, this episode delivers crispy perspectiEVs on one of the most transformative technologies of our time.
