Will we lease our batteries or sell energy back to the grid?
In short: As battery technology becomes more affordable and widely adopted, it promises to reshape our infrastructure. This discussion explores how shifting energy storage capabilities might fundamentally alter transport, vehicle ownership, and the way we interact with the national power grid.
Recorded at the Royal Institution on 13 June 2019, this panel examines the systemic shifts triggered by the battery revolution. Experts from organizations including Nissan, Shell, and the Office of Low Emission Vehicles discuss the implications for the built environment and the automotive sector.
The conversation moves beyond simple storage to consider radical changes in lifestyle and economy, such as whether we will transition to leasing batteries rather than owning them, and if individual users will eventually sell stored energy back to the national grid.
