Description (excerpt):
The Breaking It Down series aims to inform and inspire people by putting advanced manufacturing technologies and processes into simpler terms.
With electric vehicles (EVs) that get us places, cell phones that connect us to others, and utility-scale electric grid storage that powers our homes, batteries are all around us.
Batteries can be either mobile, like those in electric vehicles, or stationary, like those needed for utility-scale electricity grid storage.
As the nation transitions to a clean, renewables-powered electric grid, batteries will need to evolve to handle increased demand and provide improved performance in a sustainable way.
