Summary
GSEP hosted a webinar to present the outcomes of the white paper on second life batteries recently launched by GSEP’s Technological Commmnunity on storage.
The optimization of batteries’ life cycle is essential to ensure a sustainable future for electric mobility, and synergies between utilities and the EV sector must be developed in order to achieve a circular life cycle for EV batteries.
This webinar was presented by experts from GSEP member companies Enel and Hydro-Québec who shared experiences on second life battery projects and defined the enabling factors, limits and technical challenges to the integration of second life batteries.
