Redwood Materials Repurposes Used EV Batteries for Fixed Energy Storage
August 3rd, 2025Redwood Materials is acquiring old EV battery packs that have years of useful life remaining when they are repurposed as fixed energy storage.
The number of these packs is growing exponentially.
Notice the wide spacing and white wrap. That’s an attempt to keep the whole place from going up in case an individual pack experiences thermal runaway (lights on fire, in other words).
Redwood Materials is running this in Nevada desert conditions, where summer temperatures routinely exceed 100F. If this can work there, it can work anywhere there’s space available.
