This is a good reminder that EV’s do still have a purpose after their vehicle-rated lifespan. Anyone touting the health of car batteries as a bad thing aren’t necessarily wrong if they go directly to a landfill or other means of disposal, but that is far from the only method we should be using. Once these batteries are on a grid, from my understanding they are effectively used until capacity is sub-10%.
So it looks like this is an expansion of existing technology which is great. Hopefully we can actually get used EV batteries into these programs.
