Is there a consumer market yet for buying/selling old EV batteries for stationary storage? Some quick googling isn't turning anything up.

- outworlder 4y agoProbably not at scale due to all the different form factors. There are plenty of hobbyists doing that, however.
- rootusrootus 4y agoYou can buy old Tesla modules (typically from wrecked cars) on eBay. Once in a while I see people on the RV forums use them instead of LFP, though honestly I'd much rather have LFP for RV or home energy storage than regular lithium ion.
- myself248 4y agoBatteryhookup and Jag35 are hobbyist-friendly places dealing in such things. Safety or documentation are very much YOYOMF.
- mardifoufs 4y agoI can vouch for battery hookup, they even sell new/never used overstock sometimes. Pretty good way to build your own battery back up system, which has helped me a lot when we lost power here in quebec for 4 days last week.
