Lithium-ion batteries are the rock stars of the storage space right now. They power cars, electronics, and even utility-scale storage for renewable energy.

But in the latest Energy Cast podcast, host Jay Dauenhauer says we we’re asking too much of lithium. He asks: Shouldn’t something so energy dense be reserved for the roads? And what about stationary storage? Does that really matter?
