Any reason they're counting energy by power?
Perhaps in the same vein as what a power plant produces?
Possibly because throughout is important, possibly because MWh seems to confuse a lot of people. People are used to thinking of electricity in its flowing state and in the modern era of batteries have generally been given it in time of operation of what the battery is for.
Probably pretty consumption is increasing faster than their capacity
Tesla fanboys
That's 6.6 gigawatts! Just need to get this state over 88 mph and we've got a chance of escaping this awful timeline.
So step 1 would be to break off California from the rest of the American continent so you don't have to accelerate all of that?
The rest of the world always follows. It's been weird. Catalytic converters, efficiency standards and all that.
Someone needs to get their units figured out. Storage is measured in Wh.
Storage is measured that way; discharge rate in watts.
Both need to be planned to handle peak shaving and overnight storage.
Throughout the article they're mixing the units up. Not just the title.
