New Study: Used EV Batteries = Affordable Grid Support

The MIT Study published in the journal Applied Energy found that used EV batteries had the following advantages for the grid:

• backup storage for grid-scale solar photovoltaic installations
• additional 10+ years of battery life
• At 60% of their original price, the back up storage for solar provides a reasonable net return on investment
