Battery Life Cycle Management in Charging Networks

Research Project, 2022 – 2025

There are still many uncertainties related to the batteries in electric vehicles and how they should be managed once they are too degraded to be used in the vehicles. The aim of this project is to explore and demonstrate the potential benefits and challenges with using decommissioned vehicle batteries as an energy storage system connected to a charger for heavy duty electric trucks. The project aims at exploring both technological challenges and systemic economic and environmental effects, as well as logistical and financial benefits and challenges related to this solution.
