Clean power unplugged: the rise of mobile energy storage
In contrast, mobile storage only discharges energy on demand, and can do so instantly; they don''t need to idle at all. This can dramatically lower energy costs, especially combined with their ability to charge off-peak at 10-15 cents per kWh. Beyond fuel savings, mobile storage batteries require much lower maintenance than diesel generators.
