TSEP#96 Second Life as a leverage to refinance the transition?

The switch to electrifying transport, logistics, mobility as such
comes with a big price tag because it's just such a systemic
switch. If you, for example, are a bus fleet operator in a city,
those buses actually cost almost double than a diesel bus. Of
course, there's a lot of subsidies, but it is a steep price tag
for a fleet operator. Taking the battery after its first use case
and using it for a second life use case scenario can actually
refund some of that original cost. That is, if that battery in
the bus has been used properly and is still usable for a second
life use case. What can we do with a battery after having been in
a bus for a couple of years? What needs to be done to really use
batteries properly? And what role does monitoring play in this?
Claudius Jehle, CEO of volytica diagnostics, reveals this and
more.
