GM used last week’s AABC meeting in Detroit to unveil its stationary energy storage system using the first generation lithium-ion Chevy Volt batteries.
With end of life lithium-ion batteries still holding around 80% of its capacity, the automotive industry is looking to utilise those batteries for secondary use.
Primarily for the utility sector, the GM battery can however be ‘broken’ down for smaller applications – such as the residential market where Tesla, Daimler and recently Nissan has moved into.
