Second Life Electric Vehicle Battery Market to Witness Robust Expansion by 2030
The increasing number of electric vehicles (EVs) on the roads, owing to the presence of strict emission policies in many countries because of the increasing pollution levels caused from vehicular emissions, is one of the major factors fuelling the surging demand for second life electric vehicle batteries around the world. For instance, according to the Europe 2020 strategy, the European Union (EU) aims to reduce the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from vehicles by 20%, as compared to the emission levels in 1990, by 2020. Similarly, the U.S. targets to reduce the emission levels by 26–28% by 2025. Second Life Electric Vehicle Battery Market Outlook The batteries adopted in the electric vehicles are replaced very frequently (usually in every four to five years), which is significantly lesser than the complete life span of the electric vehicle itself. Moreover, the older battery, even after replacement, has almost 60—80% of its original power supplying capacity, which makes the battery hig...
