This is not recycling. This is reuse but at least it puts the battery to good use although I don't think the second life will be long enough because in EVs there is a cooling system to keep the battery at optimum but here in second life I don't see how the battery temperature can be controlled. I also doubt whether these are environmentally better than Lead Acid batteries because recycling those is far easier and far less nasty than recycling lithium batteries. Fast Charging also decreases battery life.
Now only if India could get its sanitation up to 20th century standard, and repel its nationalist regime and work on its unequal social disaster of cast system… then we can talk about batteries…
@@DWREV seems a bit tone deaf. Priorities first. Cant have a society where corruption and social discrimination is prevalent and then pretend it can have lasting effect on the climate or global energy supply. Sort of like choosing decoration for a house with shaky foundations. And yes I suppose you can do both but it won’t matter to most poor or uneducated people living in the street.
100,000 km! ? Yeah, this is wrong unless your talking about the Nissan Leaf. Thermally managed batteries is what you want which all cars have now.

you can say that again~
Doesn't India already have a very meager power grid...?
And all this high risk biohazardous waste is dumped in India..🤦♂️
A valid point and one of the unknown risks in the future

That will happen when homeless people living and shitting on the streets of CA get a home and the police stop murdering black people in the US.
We can talk batteries at the same time

@@p.b.2903 I guess you haven't visited India at all or haven't visited any other country outside of USA.
