JB Straubel’s Redwood launches energy business focused on second-life EV batteries

Teslarati

Repurposed batteries for scalable storage Redwood Energy is designed to bridge the gap between battery recovery and recycling by extracting value from discarded EV packs that still hold usable charge. Those packs are then integrated into modular energy systems that can store energy from solar, wind, or the grid.
