Use solar container cells to make electric vehicle batteries

Most solar batteries (like lithium-ion or LiFePO4) store energy from solar panels for home or off-grid use. On a 20-acre parcel outside the tiny Southern California town of New Cuyama, a 1. At night, when energy demand rises, that electricity is sent to the grid to power homes with clean energy. The University of California, Davis and RePurpose Energy, a clean energy startup, have executed a licensing agreement for an innovative system that repurposes batteries from electric cars to use as energy storage systems with various applications, like solar power. The Germany-based company expects that the innovation can help Europe’s biggest economy to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and increasingly shift towards climate-friendly renewables.
