Economic and Environmental Feasibility of Second-Life Lithium-ion Batteries as Fast Charging Energy Storage.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2020
Energy storage can reduce peak power consumption from the electricity grid and therefore, the cost for fast charging electric vehicles (EVs). It can also enable EV charging in areas where grid limitations would otherwise preclude it.

Evaluating the cost and carbon footprint of second-life electric vehicle batteries in residential and utility-level applications.

Waste Management, 2020
The volume of end-of-life automotive batteries is increasing rapidly as a result of growing electric vehicle adoption. Most automotive lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are recycled but could be repurposed as second-life batteries (SLBs) since they have 70-80%
