Texas electric vehicle battery repurposing projects

Overview

B2U Storage Solutions has commenced commercial operations at its Bexar Martinez battery energy storage installation near San Antonio, Texas. The 28-MWh project is built entirely from repurposed electric vehicle batteries, marking the company’s second “second-life” energy storage project within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) market.

The initiative aims to support a circular economy by addressing potential battery waste as electric vehicle sales grow. By repurposing batteries that are no longer efficient enough for automotive use, the project seeks to strengthen grid stability and clean mobility. B2U previously established a strategic supply agreement with Waymo to repurpose batteries from its fleet, and the company reports having at least 100 MWh of operational second-life battery installations.
