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.
ECO STOR recently signed an MoU with Nissan, Norsk Gjenvinning and Agder Energi to reuse EV batteries in energy storage and recycle spent batteries. In addition, it has established a German subsidiary, ECO STOR GmbH, that offers grid-connected energy storage solutions using new batteries.
Through the Battery Energy Storage Solution (BESS) project *, these retired batteries store energy during off-peak hours and supply it during peak demand, reducing carbon emissions and lowering energy costs at the Nissan Americas Headquarters.
The facilities are meant to prove the feasibility of giving EV batteries a second life as stationary storage before they are recycled. Doing so could increase the sustainability of the technology’s supply chain and reduce the need to mine critical minerals, while providing a cheaper way of building out grid-scale storage.
Electric vehicle batteries are typically replaced when they reach 70 to 80 percent of their capacity, largely because the range they provide at that point begins to dwindle. Almost all of the critical materials inside them, including lithium, nickel, and cobalt, are reusable.
Based on this, the battery can be repurposed. A simple control unit is placed onto the EV battery and provides a communication link between the battery and the energy system in the house. “More and more homes are turning into small power plants in their own right,” says Heiene.
