1 INTRODUCTION. Pure Electric Vehicles (EVs) are playing a promising role in the current transportation industry paradigm. Current EVs mostly employ lithium-ion batteries as the main energy storage system (ESS), due to their high energy density and specific energy [].However, batteries are vulnerable to high-rate power transients (HPTs) and frequent
Storage will become key in the next phase of the energy transition. This will involve both a further increase of decentralised renewable power generation and the use of green electricity to decarbonise transport (electric vehicles), industry (replacing fossil-intensive processes), and buildings (heating with low-carbon energy sources) – a process referred to as sector coupling.
