"The grid storage vs car battery comment needs some clarification"


Tahoe, I was referring to this statement made in the article posted here.

I also remember that ENZR touting the car battery business as one of there main targets for sales of V. The battery storage for grid was secondary goal. That is the way I understood anyway,because of the way V can be charged quickly and out last current market batteries it look primed to do so.




""Vanadium redox batteries are less apt than other battery technologies to be used in high-performance electric vehicles, however, they are better suited as a workhorse for grid-scale energy storage. The extremely large capacities possible from vanadium redox batteries make them well suited to use in large power applications such as helping to average out the production of highly variable generation sources such as wind or solar power, or to help generators cope with large surges in demand. The limited self-discharge characteristics of vanadium redox batteries make them useful in applications where the batteries must be stored for long periods of time with little maintenance while maintaining a ready state.""

However, I believe that V will do well on the Battery storage and the Harding of steal industry and now looks like maybe the foothold for the car battery side might slip some.

I thought the lithium-vanadium battery was supposed to be far and away better than just the lithium ion battery. That's why the article I posted was a bit disturbing.
