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.
Many electric vehicle batteries which are ‘spent’ still have up to 70 percent of their capacity left – more than enough for other uses. After used electric vehicle batteries have been broken down, tested, and re-packaged, they can be used for things like home energy storage.
To answer our original question, then: once an EV battery has reached the end of its life, it might well become, in some way or another, a new EV battery. Still not sure about low-emission motoring? Our ultimate EV and hybrid FAQ guide explains all...
This poses serious challenges. Electric vehicle batteries typically must be replaced every seven to 10 years for smaller vehicles and three to four for larger ones, such as buses and vans. Declining performance for an electric vehicle battery is evidenced by fewer miles of driving per charge and more frequent plug-ins by owners.
It is commonly accepted that an electric car battery's "second-life" starts when its performance drops to 70 to 75%. While recycling has been proposed as a solution to dealing with end-of-life batteries, the idea of repurposing these batteries for second-life applications is becoming increasingly attractive.
Automakers recommend replacing the batteries once their capacity has declined by about 20 percent. It’s something owners notice in decreased range and the need to plug in more frequently. That point typically comes after about a decade of service in a family car and four years in a taxi or bus.
