This year the battery energy storage industry is poised for further innovation, Connected Energy explores the key themes that we expect to see in 2025. The demand for clean energy is soaring across the globe, fuelled by ambitious net-zero goals, increasing renewable energy adoption, and the transition to electric vehicles.
The demand for clean energy is soaring across the globe, fuelled by ambitious net-zero goals, increasing renewable energy adoption, and the transition to electric vehicles. At the heart of this energy transformation lies battery energy storage systems, which facilitate a reliable and efficient transition to a decarbonised grid.
The total volume of batteries used in the energy sector was over 2 400 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in 2023, a fourfold increase from 2020. In the past five years, over 2 000 GWh of lithium-ion battery capacity has been added worldwide, powering 40 million electric vehicles and thousands of battery storage projects.
These developments are propelling the market for battery energy storage systems (BESS). Battery storage is an essential enabler of renewable-energy generation, helping alternatives make a steady contribution to the world's energy needs despite the inherently intermittent character of the underlying sources.
EVs accounted for over 90% of battery use in the energy sector, with annual volumes hitting a record of more than 750 GWh in 2023 – mostly for passenger cars. Battery storage capacity in the power sector is expanding rapidly.
Market Size: The charging pile market is projected to exceed 100 billion yuan, potentially reaching 180 billion yuan in 2025, driven by the rising number of new energy vehicles. 62 million in 2021, with a vehicle-to-pile ratio target of around 2.
Policies focused on charging infrastructure play an important role in increasing the number of charging points per EV. Specifically, the EU Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) requires member states to ensure publicly accessible charging stations offer in aggregate at least 1.3 kW of power output per BEV and 0.8 kW per PHEV.
As of the end of 2023, cumulative private investment in medium- and heavy-duty vehicle charging infrastructure in the United States amounted to USD 4.2 billion. Industry will certainly also play a major role in HDV charging infrastructure development.
In dense urban areas, in particular, where access to home charging is more limited, public charging infrastructure is a key enabler for EV adoption.
All US states, Washington DC, and Puerto Rico are participating in the programme, and have already been allocated USD 885 million in funding for 2023 to support the build-out of chargers across 122 000 km of highway (see Policy support for EV charging infrastructure).
Electric trucks and buses will rely on off-shift charging for the majority of their energy. This will be largely achieved at private or semi-private charging depots or at public stations on highways, and often overnight.
As the market penetration of EVs increases, public charging becomes increasingly important, even in these countries, to support EV adoption among drivers who do not have access to private home or workplace charging options. However, the optimal ratio of EVs per charger will differ based on local conditions and driver needs.
