EKODA consortium exploring direct reuse or repurposing of batteries, gearboxes

Green Car Congress

If the energy storage system is older, it would be possible to use it in a smaller agricultural machine. Even if the battery has multiple defective cells, it may still be suitable for stationary use, for example, as electricity storage in a home photovoltaic system. The battery system does not need to be thrown away.
