We are on the verge of scaling up electric vehicles. But, after five years, there are going to be a huge amount of EV batteries that cannot just be dumped. OEMs and Cell Suppliers are more interested now than ever before in how to use these batteries for second life … and if second life is even viable.

Join your peers as we answer some of the key questions being asked right now to make repurposing a reality.

• When you take out the battery from the car, how does the lifecycle of second life start?
• What stationary applications can batteries be used for?
• How is the selection of cells/modules happening?
• What does the exact value chain look like from fresh cells coming from a cell supplier going into a car and then coming out to be used for energy storage?
• What steps can be taken to make the battery management system accessible by the second users and recyclers?
• Under which circumstances does a second life application make sense from a technical and financial standpoint ?
• Insurance and warranting of second life packs
