Hundreds of used electric vehicle battery packs are enjoying a second life at a California facility connected to the state's power grid, according to @B2U_Storage. https://t.co/75kkLxnt1V @nicholagroom#ElectricVehicle
B2U announced that 25MWh of #secondlife EV battery storage is online at our Sierra Facility. Read more from @nicholagroom, who broke the story in @Reuters this morning.

@Kellen_Browning@NirajC "Many EV batteries will find second lives". B2U is reusing over 1,300 EV batteries in a grid connected, hybrid storage facility in Lancaster, CA- eliminating repurposing costs with patented EPS technology.

The recent @nytimes piece on EV battery recycling ends with the perfect pitch for B2U and how we’re demonstrating at scale today what is coming tomorrow.

B2U’s energy storage facility in Lancaster, CA now has 21 MWh of storage capacity operational, the world’s largest energy storage facility that utilizes batteries from electric vehicles. The Lancaster facility is scheduled to expand to 28 MWh by year’s end. #EnergyStorage
B2U is pleased to share the expansion of our Sierra energy storage project to 8MWh capacity of second-life #evbatteries operational at the end of 2021. With construction underway in the new year, a cumulative 17MWh will be operational by the end of Q2-2022
People talk about one day, in the future, using 2nd-hand EV batteries as cheap grid storage. But I found a company that's run a commercial clean power plant off used Nissan leaf batteries for over a year. And they just raised $10M to grow. @CanaryMediaInc https://t.co/IhYw29NkE5
That's a whole rack of used Nissan Leaf batteries selling into California's wholesale power market - @B2U_Storage now backed by $10 million from Marubeni https://t.co/CywxG4V3kd
ICYMI: On 9/15, @Sustt_Curation hosted a webinar with McKinsey & Company presenting their 'Curation Battery Cost Model', which features Reuse as their 5th hypothesis as a profitable business model for the future.

@ENERGY National Blueprint for Lithium Batteries Goal 4: Enable end-of-life #reuse and critical materials #recycling in the United States.
A great report by the FCAB on securing the American #LithiumBattery value-chain. Read the executive summary here: https://t.co/PKcGg2ppM8
An excellent webinar by @everledgerio from last week on #EVB regulation. There was a great dialogue surrounding second-life applications for #EVbatteries and regulatory frameworks for lifecycle management.

@BloombergNEF EV Outlook: "EV sales are set to increase sharply in the next few years, rising from 3.1 million in 2020 to 14 million in 2025."
#EVbatteries#ElectricVehicles
@energy strategic goal #4 stresses the importance going forward of @B2U_Storage business model stating, “a resilient market should be developed for the reuse of battery cells from retired EVs for secondary applications, including grid storage.”

@UndecidedMF @Mattferrell @UndecidedMF Good to see battery LCM covered. @B2U_Storage is working on Reuse before Recycle. Our utility-scale energy storage project is using EV batteries in original casing.
