Addressing Supply Chain Challenges in the EV Sector
The surge in demand for lithium and other components used in electric vehicle (EV) batteries has posed significant challenges to supply chains, much to the satisfaction of skeptics who have long criticized the industry. Yet, as innovations arise within EV battery recycling, solutions are beginning to emerge that include repurposing batteries for a second life.
Exploring Second Life Options for EV Batteries
The concept of utilizing retired EV batteries for stationary energy storage has been rather promising since Ford began experimenting with a combination of used batteries and solar power back in 2011 at one of its manufacturing facilities.
Initially, both recycling and repurposing efforts faced a crucial challenge: there simply weren’t enough used batteries available to create a viable business surrounding their afterlife. Fast forward to today; as electric vehicle sales soar, so too does the landscape of battery recycling. Despite this progress, it’s important to note that recycling can consume substantial energy resources—indicating that prolonging battery lifecycle usage is more environmentally sustainable.
Modern advancements have led to longer lasting EV batteries; recent studies point out that these new-generation batteries far surpass previous estimates regarding their lifespan on the road based on extensive data gathered from actual driving patterns.
However, all good things must come to an end; eventually these batteries will no longer be fit for vehicular use—but emerging industries focused on second life applications stand ready to support this shift.
The Complex Journey Towards Repurposing Used Batteries
Turning old EV batteries into functional energy storage units is not without its intricacies. A leader in this niche is Moment Energy, a Canadian startup making strides toward innovation in battery repurposing solutions.
Moment Energy proudly claims its title as “North America’s preeminent company specializing in repurposed EV battery systems,” partnering with renowned automotive brands such as Mercedes-Benz’s Energy division. Their insight into market dynamics has allowed them to identify key opportunities within underserved segments essential for advancing clean energy initiatives.
Their offerings span projects varying from 400 kilowatt hours (kWh) up to an impressive 10 megawatt hours (MWh), targeting critical areas like commercial enterprises and public charging infrastructure while playing a vital role during the transition towards cleaner energy alternatives. Moment anticipates sourcing many used cells from within existing battery recycling systems—projecting over 953 gigawatt-hours’ worth accessible by 2030.
Scaling Up Operations: The Gigafactory Initiative
Having established initial success, Moment Energy now aims even higher—a recent Series A funding round amassed $15 million co-led by notable investors including Amazon Climate Pledge Fund and Voyager Ventures. This investment intends to realize plans set forth for building a large-scale “gigafactory” located within American borders.
Awareness may arise around why this facility finds itself situated stateside rather than Canada—a contributing factor lies with incentives offered under current U.S policies which include $20 million granted last year by President Biden aimed specifically at assisting businesses like theirs relocate operations while creating more than 250 jobs locally through their Texas site establishment effort.
Yet despite attracting investment due largely thanks partly not only from better rates but also facilities itself suffering apparent shortcomings regarding general adoption rates vis-à-vis registered vehicles showing significantly low proportional registration figures accompanied by fewer installations where charging stations operate effectively making comparison challenging[1].
