[191 Pages Report] The Second-life EV Batteries Market size was estimated at USD 23.59 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 25.92 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 10.49% to reach USD 47.46 billion by 2030.
Second-life Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries are repurposed or reutilized batteries originally designed for powering electric vehicles. These batteries generally retain approximately 70% to 80% of their initial capacity when retired from EVs, making them viable for various secondary applications. The growing proliferation of electric vehicles initiates an increasing necessity to manage the end of-life for first-life car batteries. The growing focus on sustainability and government initiatives for recycling and reusing products to minimize environmental impact is expanding applications of second-life electric vehicle (EV) batteries. However, safety issues and a lack of battery assembling professionals may impede using second-life electric vehicle (EV) batteries in end-use applications. Moreover, the expansion of microgrid structure and favorable ecosystem for startups is expected to create immense potential for the second-life electric vehicle (EV) batteries market globally.
Type: Expanding applications of second-life EV lithium-ion batteries
Lead-acid batteries are used in modern EVs and may come from older models or hybrids. Their second-life uses are relatively limited due to their lower energy density and less efficient charge-discharge cycle than newer technologies. They can be employed in less-demanding stationary storage applications, such as backup power systems, or for energy storage in renewable installations where weight and size are not critical considerations. Lithium-ion batteries are used owing to their high energy density, longevity, and efficiency. These batteries are used in residential and commercial energy storage, power for off-grid applications, and power banks. Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, nickel-based batteries, have been used in earlier generations of EVs and hybrids. NiMH batteries still have potential in second-life applications owing to their robust safety profile, making them suitable for stationary storage. Sodium-ion batteries have benefits such as abundant materials and potential cost advantages. Prospective roles for second-life sodium-ion batteries could be due to their stable recycling characteristics and safety features.
Application: Significant penetration in commercial and industrial energy storage
Second-life EV batteries can be effectively used in commercial and industrial facilities with substantial energy demand. They can supplement or serve as buffers for intermittent renewable energy sources, help reduce peak demand charges, and serve as backup power supply during outages, thus promoting energy efficiency and cost savings. Deploying second-life EV batteries at EV charging stations can improve their efficiency and reliability. The batteries can temporarily store off-peak grid electricity and provide fast charging during peak hours. This would help balance the electrical grid loads and mitigate the impacts of high-power quick charging sessions on the power grid. Second-life EV batteries can provide various benefits in grid services, including load leveling, frequency regulation, voltage support, and power quality improvement. They can store excess electricity during off-peak periods and feed it back into the grid during peak demand, helping to maintain grid stability and resilience. Second-life EV batteries can play a crucial role in off-grid systems, especially in remote regions with inadequate grid connections. They can store surplus power generated from renewable sources, including solar or wind, and provide electricity during periods of low generation or increased demand, thus contributing to energy access and security. In residential settings, second-life EV batteries can be used for storing surplus solar power during the day and supply it back during the night or cloudy days. This allows homeowners to maximize the use of their solar power systems, reduce their energy bills, and achieve greater energy independence.
