Second Life ESS Considerations For EV Batteries: A Global Regulatory Overview

Repurposing EV batteries for stationary energy storage applications seems like an ideal situation: keep batteries out of landfills and reduce reliance on recycling and new raw materials. It is well documented that EV batteries at the end of their vehicle life still maintain sufficient capacity and state of health for use in lower power applications,… Read more »
