Schroeder: EV market will use multiple battery chemistries, not one holy grail
“I definitely am not a believer in a single holy grail of batteries that, that solves all problems. I think it's, you know, it's going to be a number of solutions to solve different application cases”

Schroeder: EV manufacturing scale will drive down grid battery costs
“And my hypothesis is, the same thing is going to give you a grid battery because those Not early adopters, but earlier than the grid EV manufacturers are going to wring the cost out of it, and utility industry will be the beneficiary there.”

Schroeder: Grid-connected EVs will offset some dedicated grid storage demand
“We are inherently going to be putting huge amounts of lithium ion on the grid in the form of, you know, EVs. And so I think at least for demand response, there's something there, right? There's some offset that, you know, to other storage that would be needed,…”

Schroeder: EV batteries will not solve extended renewable generation lulls
“I don't think that solves long periods of no wind, no solar, but it certainly has to help for lots of things.”
