[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] And end of life battery disposal makes nuclear waste seem like a breath of fresh air.[/quote] Used electric car batteries are refurbished and can be used for household energy storage.(Think Tesla Powerwall)[/quote] Powerwall is not a second-life battery product. But some recent work published by BMW does indicate the commercial viability of second-life batteries for stationary storage: https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/bmw-and-pge-prove-electric-vehicles-can-be-a-valuable-grid-resource That said, the argument that batteries are a worse waste problem than nuclear waste is just false. It is a waste problem, but one manufacturers are proactively trying to solve. The bigger issue is likely to be the availability of rare-earth elements for the batteries and environmental impacts of expanded mining.[/quote]
