How many vehicles can 1GWh supply?
1 Answers
1 gigawatt-hour (GWh) of batteries can approximately supply 20,000 vehicles. Detailed explanation: 1 kilowatt-hour (KWH) equals one unit of electricity, so 1 megawatt-hour (MWH) means (the battery storage capacity is) 1,000 units of electricity. A Tesla vehicle's battery capacity is approximately 60-90 units, while other vehicles may be slightly less, ranging from 30-80 units. Conservatively estimating an average of 50 units per vehicle, 1 megawatt-hour (MWH) of batteries can supply around 20 vehicles, and 1 gigawatt-hour (GWH) can supply approximately 20,000 vehicles. Regarding installation volume: In January 2021, the total installation volume of power batteries reached 8.7GWh, a year-on-year increase of 273.9%, but a month-on-month decrease of 33.1%, showing significant year-on-year growth. The installation volumes of ternary batteries and lithium iron phosphate batteries were 5.4GWh and 3.3GWh, respectively, with year-on-year increases of 241.9% and 349.8%, and month-on-month decreases of 9.8% and 52.8%.
