Will 2024 be a big year for Second Life EV batteries?

The biggest takeaway we can see is that 2024 will be a big year for second life EV batteries as a result of all of the above factors. Let's connect! We asked the Connected Energy team which key trends they think will most impact the battery energy storage industry in 2024.

Will EV 4-w sales increase in 2023?

Fig. 1 depicts global sales of EV 4-W, involving BEVs (battery-electric vehicles) and PHEVs (plug-in hybrid electric cars), based on an article presented by the International Energy Agency (IEA) , . This study predicts that compared to 2022, sales of electric vehicles would increase by a factor of 23% in 2023.

What happened to battery electric cars in 2024?

In 2024, as electric car sales rose by 25% to 17 million, annual battery demand surpassed 1 terawatt-hour (TWh) – a historic milestone. At the same time, the average price of a battery pack for a battery electric car dropped below USD 100 per kilowatt-hour, commonly thought of as a key threshold for competing on cost with conventional models.

Will 2024 be a big year for EV batteries?

We should expect to see some accelerated growth, perhaps some consolidation, and upstream/downstream integration/investment. The biggest takeaway we can see is that 2024 will be a big year for second life EV batteries as a result of all of the above factors.

Will EV Chargin G be successful in 2024?

On the downstream side, as we get closer to the 2035 ICE ban in the UK and Europe, charging infrastructure will become the main focus – if not already – to achieve a successful rollout of EVs. 2024 will be the year that we’ll see battery energy storage playing a more pivotal role in addressing infrastructure challenges for EV chargin g.

Is repurposing EV batteries a sustainable solution?

The concept of a circular economy — in which materials are re-used, repurposed and recycled 188 — is gaining traction as a solution to sustainability challenges associated with electric vehicle (EV) energy storage (see the figure, part a). Repurposing EV batteries is an important approach 189.
