CleanSpark, Inc. and ReJoule awarded $2.9M second-life EV battery grant with support from Ford

Green Car Congress

This presents opportunities for repurposing EV batteries as low-cost stationary storage in a second-life application. The largest barriers to repurposing used EV batteries are the cost of disassembly, long test times, and uncertainty of the remaining useful life. Source: GFO-19-310 Pre-Application Workshop.
