The Car as an Energy Storage System
Mobility in Germany is undergoing a period of disruptive change with the move toward electrification, hydrogen and synthetic carbon-neutral fuels. Most people are familiar with these
Germany boasts a dense landscape of world-leading research institutes and universities active in the energy storage sector. They work closely together with industry to bring innovations to the market. The federal government supports research and development in the energy storage, hydrogen, fuel cell, and electric vehicle sectors.
Battery storage systems in Germany serve a variety of purposes depending on their scale. Home storage systems are primarily used to maximise the use of self-generated solar power, helping households become more energy independent.
Public research and development incentives for EV and stationary battery research amount to between EUR 80 million and EUR 85 million every year. As the European lead market in the energy transition age, Germany provides the opportunity for companies to develop, test, define and market new energy storage solutions.
The expansion of electricity storage is a key component of Germany's energy transition. While there is currently no direct public funding available for building battery storage systems, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy supports this growth through its Electricity Storage Strategy.
