Classification of potential electrical storage for stationary applications. For example, they note, to regulate frequency, the energy storage capacity may not need to be long-lasting—minutes can be sufficient—but it must have a long cycle life because the system is likely to encounter multiple daily discharge events.

How clean is EV battery manufacturing?

Electric Auto Association

When EV batteries degrade enough to be unsuitable for cars (about 70% capacity remaining), they are re-used for electricity storage. Interestingly, approximately one-third of EV drivers have home rooftop solar, so their electricity is coming from sunshine, saving fuel costs as well as the environment.
