Batteries are an important part of the global energy system today and are poised to play a critical role in secure clean energy transitions. In the transport sector, they are the essential component in the millions of electric vehicles sold each year. In the power sector, battery storage is the fastest growing clean energy technology on the market.
Potential of electric vehicle batteries second use in energy storage systems is investigated. Future scale of electric vehicles, battery degradation and energy storage demand projections are analyzed. Research framework for Li-ion batteries in electric vehicles and energy storage systems is built.
When the time does come for retirement from a car, batteries can be used as stationary energy storage systems, something that makes a good fit for balancing the peaks and troughs of electricity grid power generation, storing renewable electricity locally, or for portable power.
Various end-of-life (EOL) options are under development, such as recycling and recovery. Recently, stakeholders have become more confident that giving the retired batteries a second life by reusing them in less-demanding applications, such as stationary energy storage, may create new value pools in the energy and transportation sectors.
The results show that until 2050, more than 16 TWh of Li-ion batteries are expected to be retired from electric vehicles. If these retired batteries are put into second use, the accumulative new battery demand of battery energy storage systems can be reduced from 2.1 to 5.1 TWh to 0–1.4 TWh under different scenarios, implying a 73–100% decrease.
Analysis: used EV batteries still have a considerable amount of capacity left and can be repurposed for energy storage applications By Barry Hayes and İbrahim Şengör, UCC Electric vehicles are widely seen as the key to decarbonising road transport. Despite recent supply chain issues, global electric sales continue to break records every year.
