The price of the rechargeable lithium-ion batteries utilized for phones, laptops, and also cars has actually fallen drastically over the last 3 decades, and has been a significant vehicle driver of the fast growth of those innovations. Yet attempting to measure that price decrease has created uncertain and contradictory outcomes that have hindered attempts to project the innovation's future or develop beneficial plans and research study top priorities.

Researchers in the US have published a study that brings 20 years of renewable energy (solar PV and/or wind plus storage) generation into line with historical energy-demand profiles, to ascertain at what storage cost point renewables can cost-effectively consistently meet 100% demand.
