Good morning with good news: Global BESS/grid battery demand surged 36% during first 9 months of 2025!
Why?
Plunging prices!
Falling BESS cell price plunged system prices by more than 50% in last 2 years.
Solar/wind now are often built with batteries!

ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of the energy in their fuel. Electric vehicles are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain: EVs need not convert one form of energy to another resulting in much higher efficiency.

A historic turning point for clean heating in Europe: For the first time, in the first half of 2025 sales of heat pumps in Germany have surpassed those of gas boilers.
