What is the future of battery storage in Japan?
At the residential level, where battery storage capacities are projected at 100,000 to 250,000 kW, life-span is also projected to increase 50 to 100%. Other small-scale uses, such as data center backup energy storage are projected by NEDO to become commercially widespread in Japan before 2020.
Can EV batteries be reused in Japan?
One feature of our grid energy storage system is that it utilizes reused batteries from EVs. Although the penetration rate of EVs in Japan is still only about 1%, the Japanese government aims for 100% of all new passenger car sales to be EVs by 2035. This, at the same time, means that more batteries will be discarded.
