EVgo has integrated second-life BMW i3 batteries to store energy from the grid generated during peak solar hours and later use that stored energy to fast-charge EVgo customers during periods of high demand. Reusing batteries as backup for charging is a win-win for the economics and the environmental benefits of EVs.

The lithium, found in salty water, or brines, is the most cost-effective on the market; it’s cheap and easy to extract, giving competing battery gigafactories new, affordable American lithium resources that will be a global game-changer. Even more than hybrid cars, grid storage and the “powerwall” will drive lithium demand through the roof.

Because of this, carmakers can afford to put larger batteries into their vehicles and reduce range anxiety. Although electric vehicle production is slowly increasing and is closer to reaching the expectations of five years ago, there aren’t enough grid-dependent vehicles on the road yet to generate large revenues from public charging.

You referenced the infrastructure bills that are currently stalled in Congress. One of the things that EV owners know is that if you're going to take a trip, pull your phone and tell the car, 15 or 30 minutes before you start, hey, warm up your battery, pre-condition the cabin and do it on grid power so you have a full battery.
