EV Batteries

Are used EV batteries good for home energy storage?

There has been a lot of talk about the use of second-life EV batteries, potentially as a home energy storage solution. This is intriguing, as it offers a dual solution – reducing the waste from EVs and reducing the cost of home energy storage systems. But what’s the deal? Are used EV batteries good for home energy storage? Let’s investigate.  A ground-breaking study  Academics at Newcastle University’s School of Engineering recently released their thoughts on the use of EV batteries for home...


How Can Second Life EV Batteries Be Used for Energy Storage?

Many of us are aware that the transport sector is one of the main producers of greenhouse gas emissions in the United Kingdom. But to be fair, the government has ambitious plans to reach zero net emissions by 2050, which has seen huge increases in the electric vehicle (EV) market in recent times. Directly because of this, we expect to see the demand for end-of-life EV batteries increase at a similar rate. What is an End-Of-Life EV Battery? Sadly, batteries don’t last forever!...
