Shanghai

EV-and-Battery Integrated Urban Energy System

Shanghai, China

Highlight

Uses electric vehicles and batteries together to stabilise the grid and integrate renewables at city scale.

Extended description

Shanghai is developing a large-scale integrated urban energy system in which electric vehicles and stationary batteries work together to support grid stability, integrate renewables and manage urban energy demand. Storage is deployed across multiple layers, from grid-scale batteries to vehicles, coordinated to balance supply and demand. The approach illustrates how dense cities can turn electrified mobility and storage into flexible clean-energy infrastructure.
