The program also includes a “second life” for used MINI E batteries, by repurposing these batteries into a stationary solar-powered electric storage system located at the BMW Technology Office in Mountain View, California. Grid efficiency through managed charging, combined with a used EV battery “second-life” system.

Classification of potential electrical storage for stationary applications. To be successful, systems will need to evolve—in some cases, considerably—to compete financially with the cost of natural gas production. The most commonly used systems today work by converting electricity to kinetic (e.g.,
