The used EV market is changing: it is no longer only about reselling the car, but also about giving batteries a different role once they are no longer ideal for vehicle use. Even if an аккумулятор is no longer fit for a car, it can still work in stationary energy storage systems.

For the market, this creates new revenue streams for manufacturers, recyclers and energy operators. In Italy, where EV adoption is growing but still trails major European markets, this will be key to lowering running costs and extending the vehicle’s overall value.
