EV Batteries Refuse to Die: How Repurposed Packs Are Powering Data Centers, Factories and Grids

EV Batteries Refuse to Die: How Repurposed Packs Are Powering Data Centers, Factories and Grids

Spent electric vehicle batteries pile up faster than many expected. Yet they rarely head straight to the recycler. Instead, companies race to give them new purpose on the grid, at factories and inside AI data centers. The economics work. The technology scales. And the timing could not be better. Redwood Materials unveiled what it called the world’s largest second-life battery deployment in June 2025. A 12-megawatt, 63-megawatt-hour system built …

Battery Storage for Data Centers and Safer with Solid State Batteries

The battery sector is rapidly growing in multiple directions, with battery storage technologies expected to be responsible for powering many major sectors including data centers and 6G power stations, and solid-state batteries gaining increasing amounts of attention for their safer chemistries.
