As wave two of EV retirements arrives, a collision between cheap new batteries and rising second-life capacity will determine whether repurposing flourishes—or gets crushed.

From an airport in Rome to a data centre in the Nevada desert, five projects show that repurposed EV batteries are no longer a curiosity—they are earning real money.

Three blocs, three approaches—and a decision about repurposing versus recycling that is being shaped as much by regulation as by market forces.

From a few containers in a car park to gigawatt-hours of grid-connected storage: repurposed EV batteries are becoming a quiet force in the energy transition.

First-generation electric cars are now old enough to reveal how their batteries age. The data hold the key to whether a second life is viable.
