Uses of Second-life EV Batteries
Battery recycling is a hot topic in the EV space and rightfully so especially since EV technology is improving at a rapid pace.
One great way to keep batteries out of landfills is to find another use for them. And the market is clearly seeing this.
Once a battery reaches the end of its automotive or first life, they still have a residual capacity of around 70-80%. This makes them useful in other applications especially stationary storage systems.
