Yes, battery swap stations do have energy storage capabilities. For example, NIO's swap stations are equipped with thirteen battery packs, providing an energy storage capacity of 600-700 kWh at any time2. These stations can store energy when electricity prices are low and sell it back to the grid when prices are high, effectively functioning as energy storage devices4. [pdf]

Yes, energy storage does include batteries. Batteries are a form of energy storage that can store electrical energy for later use, helping to balance supply and demand and support renewable energy integration2. They are integral components of battery energy storage systems (BESS), which charge energy from the grid and discharge it when needed3. [pdf]
