Life cycle costs of electric and hybrid electric vehicle batteries and End-of-Life uses

Brant Price, Eric Dietz, Jeff R. J. Richardson

Open publisher page 24 citations

Abstract

This paper investigates the pertinent concepts centric to electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) battery value. The factors that contribute to battery degradation, and thus devaluation, are examined. While a battery may no longer be useful in a vehicle, this does not mean the battery can no longer be used in other applications. Four strategies for alternative uses of battery packs are discussed. Finally, a simplified analysis of battery value over time is presented.
