Old EV batteries could store Europe's wasted solar and wind power
Original: How old EV batteries could help prevent Europe from wasting solar and wind energy https://www. euronews.com/2026/09/28/a
Euronews reports that second-life electric vehicle batteries could be repurposed as large-scale storage, helping Europe keep the surplus solar and wind energy that is currently wasted when generation outpaces demand. The idea is being discussed as a way to cut curtailment of renewables and make better use of battery packs retired from cars.
Why now: Growing interest in energy storage solutions as Europe scales up renewable generation
