[ 98 ] A December 2024 study published in Nature Energy has prompted significant discussion within the scientific and automotive communities regarding the longevity of electric ...
Lithium-ion batteries from cars can sometimes be re-used for a second-life in factories [67] or as stationary batteries. [68] Some electric vehicle manufacturers, such as Tesla, claim that a lithium-ion battery that no longer fulfills the requirements of its intended use can be serviced by them directly, thereby lengthening its first-life. [69]
