In addition to storage, batteries provide a bunch of grid services like frequency control. Tesla claims their batteries can replace spinning reserves from thermal power more effectively than alternatives like synchronous condensers. I don't know whether this is correct and whether BYD can match Tesla, but it might be worth looking into.
Someone might want to clue MAGA politicians and media pundits to the fact that batteries can store electricity at night or when the wind isn’t blowing. I wonder how they think a flashlight works: tiny coal fueled generators?

The Muskrat’s “businesses” are all failing!!!
Interesting. Yet we may never see BYD in the US. All depends on the dictatorship failing here.
