The Final Disposition of Electric Vehicle Batteries
There are still many questions concerning what will happen to lithium-ion batteries as they reach their end of life (EOL), as batteries that have “aged out” can either be reused, recycled, or go to a landfill. This presentation addresses issues such as safety concerns and insufficient investment and regulations as the industry sees a looming influx of batteries reaching their EOL within the next 10 years.

Secondary-Use
This session explores the promise of battery second use, which uncovers value from retired EV batteries through repurposing them in other energy storage systems. Finding secondary uses for batteries reduces their up-front cost and provides benefits to consumers and utilities, such as demand charge management, renewable energy integration, and regulation energy management.
