EU Project Explored: Could Electric Vehicle Batteries Have Second-Life as Energy Storages?
By the end of 2025, the EU area already had nearly 8.5 million all-electric vehicles in total—including passenger cars, vans, trucks, and buses. The total capacity of these batteries is hundreds of gigawatt hours. This volume corresponds to 1.5 hours of all electricity consumption in the whole of Europe.
A large portion of the battery capacity would still be usable even when the vehicles reach the end of their lifespan. Lithium-ion batteries of end-of-life vehicles would have significant capacity remaining for stationary Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
