EKODA consortium exploring direct reuse or repurposing of batteries, gearboxes

Green Car Congress

Used batteries, gear shafts and cogwheels could even show up in other applications outside the automotive industry. It records the battery type, model, serial number and power class (in kilowatts) and compares this information with an internal database. Next, the battery cover is removed through a semi-automated process.

Study Finds PHEV Li-ion Cells Show Little Capacity Fade Under Combined Driving and V2G Usage; Economic Model Suggests Incentives Will Be Required for Vehicle Owners to Participate in V2G

Green Car Congress

A new draft working paper published by the Carnegie Mellon Electricity Industry Center concluded that a PHEV pack comprising lithium iron phosphate cells would incur little capacity loss from combining vehicle-to-grid (V2G) activities with regular driving. Different DoD did not have a large impact on capacity fade. Peterson et al.
