Electric vehicle (EV) charging and battery storage are types of energy sources that landowners can lease a section of their land to generate passive income. Vehicle charging has become much more popular with the increase in electric vehicle sales. This has led to the increased need for EV charging stations. Battery energy storage is used to store large amounts
The levelized cost of storage (LCOS) is another metric applied in comparing alternative energy storage systems for specific energy scenarios i.e. long-term, short-term, and medium-term storage. Another related metric is the Levelized avoided cost of energy (LACE) which n captures information about how the grid operates without the new power plant or
