The electric vehicle boom presents a challenge regarding end-of-life batteries, which shouldn't be wasted. "Extending the charge" focuses on sustainable battery lifecycle strategies. Maximizing the first life is key, but the second life in stationary energy storage offers a compelling reuse avenue for less demanding applications. Innovative recycling is also crucial for resource recovery and minimizing environmental impact. Cross-industry collaboration is essential for efficient collection, standardized testing, and viable reuse/recycling processes. Extending battery lifecycles is an environmental necessity and an economic opportunity, fostering a circular economy and a sustainable electrified future.
