Retired Electric Vehicle Batteries Are Revolutionizing Green-Energy Storage
The burgeoning renewable energy industry is using retired electric vehicle batteries to revolutionize green-energy storage. With millions of aging electric vehicles set to retire their batteries over the next decade, the electric-vehicle industry was looking at a potential avalanche of e-waste from old EV batteries. These batteries could leach harmful chemicals and metals into the environment and undo many of the environmental benefits of transitioning to electric vehicles. However, green-energy storage facilities are taking advantage of retired EV batteries to kill two birds with one stone: provide a means of storing clean energy while limiting environmental pollution by giving old…
