Nissan and General Motors hope to sell used batteries from electric vehicles to wind farms, according to The Sunday Times. If successful, the scheme could have a major impact on the cost of EVs since batteries form a large part of the vehicle costs.
Once batteries can no longer store more than 70 per cent of their charge - probably after 10 years or 150,000 miles - they are not able to be used to power cars but still have enough storage capacity to be used to store power generated by wind turbines at off-peak times, when it is not required by the national grid. The batteries could also be used for emergency power supplies.
