The (LCOS) is a measure of the lifetime costs of storing electricity per of electricity discharged. It includes investment costs, but also operational costs and charging costs. It depends highly on storage type and purpose; as subsecond-scale , minute/hour-scale peaker plants, or day/week-scale season storage.

According to a study by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the increasing use of plug-in electric vehicles and other electricity-dependent technologies could increase the strain on US power grids by as much as 38% by 2050. Coping with this heightened demand presents a significant challenge for both power companies and government agencies. In July 2022, eight electric school buses in the (SDG&E) service territo.

Electricity can be stored directly for a short time in capacitors, somewhat longer electrochemically in , and much longer chemically (e.g. hydrogen), mechanically (e.g. pumped hydropower) or as heat. The first pumped hydroelectricity was constructed at the end of the 19th century around in Italy, Austria, and Switzerland. The technique rapidly expanded during the 196.
