- EVs Are Essential Grid-Scale Storage. Before long, there will be more EV battery capacity than the grid can use. Vehicle-to-grid and end-of-vehicle-life capacity could reach 32 to 62 terawatt-hours by 2050. Estimated grid demands for short-term storage would only be 3.4 to 19.2 TWh by 2050. https://spectrum.ieee.org/electric-vehicle-grid-storage-2659270424 3 comments energy
