The funding was provided from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to support technologies and processes for second-life battery applications. Element Energy has received and screened about 2 GWh of second-life batteries and plans to deploy the batteries for grid-scale projects. For the 2 GWh of batteries procured by Element Energy, approximately
The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is increasing due to governmental policies focused on curbing climate change. EV batteries are retired when they are no longer suitable for energy-intensive EV operations. A large number of EV batteries are expected to be retired in the next 5–10 years. These retired batteries have 70–80% average capacity left.

Several works of literature provide insights in this regard. Li et al. [6] design a real-life test framework for second-life EV batteries VOLUME 9, 2021 152431
''Second life'' battery technology offers a promising avenue for repurposing EV batteries. After being retired from vehicles, these batteries typically retain 50-80% of their capacity. They can be used in other applications and when a second-life battery is used instead of a new battery, it significantly reduces carbon emissions.

This webinar, presented by Senior Technology Analyst Conrad Nichols, provides a comprehensive overview of the second-life EV battery market. This webinar provides key insights in second-life EV battery technologies, applications, regional activity, and trends that will influence the economic development of second-life EV batteries in the future.
Second-life batteries are suitable for a number of applications despite their degraded performance. Second-life batteries are either used batteries or a combination of their modules or cells. Due to characteristics dispersion, the elements must be selected and sorted. Performance evolution and battery behavior during second life must be observed.
The funding was provided from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to support technologies and processes for second-life battery applications. Element Energy has received and screened nearly 2 GWh of second-life batteries and will deploy the batteries for
Therefore, second-life applications can extend existing storage and balance the needs of numerous new batteries, whose prices are intensively related to political, economic, ethnic,

The potential for second-life batteries is massive. At scale, second-life batteries could significantly lower BESS project costs, paving the way for broader adoption of wind and solar power and unlocking new markets and use cases for energy storage.
Second-life batteries present an immediate opportunity, the viability of which will be proven or disproven in the next few years. Second-life batteries can considerably reduce the cost as well as the environmental impact of stationary battery energy storage.
Second-life batteries will either fail or experience exponential growth over the next 3–5 years. Retired batteries are available in increasing quantities, and there is clear demand for low-cost, stationary energy storage. Companies seeking to take advantage of the opportunity must act now, or risk missing the boat.
As mentioned in Section 3, batteries with different SOH levels would be available for second-life applications. Typically, SLBs with a higher remaining capacity yield more revenue, but they may come at a higher cost. To make effective use of SLBs, the cost of maintaining and refurbishing these batteries must be outweighed by their benefits.
However, spent batteries are commonly less reliable than fresh batteries due to their degraded performance, thereby necessitating a comprehensive assessment from safety and economic perspectives before further utilization. To this end, this paper reviews the key technological and economic aspects of second-life batteries (SLBs).
According to the joint report by McKinsey and the Global Battery Alliance, the projections estimate the global supply of second-life batteries will reach 15 GWh by 2025 and further increase to 112–227 GWh by 2030 . Besides, McKinsey also reported that the global demand for Li-ion batteries is expected to skyrocket in the next decade .
