Recently got the chance to discuss the importance of second life batteries and how to encourage a more sustainable transition to clean energy ⚡️🌎

Union of Concerned Scientists@UCSUSA20 Nov 2023

"By extending the life of [an electric vehicle] battery, we reduce the need for further exploitation of our natural resources, we reduce the demand for raw materials, and we generally encourage a more sustainable process.”—UCS energy analyst Maria Chavez. grist.org/energy/ev-batterie…

Where could millions of EV batteries retire? Solar farms.

A Southern California company is showing how repurposing EV batteries for stationary storage can extend their usefulness for several years.

Environmental justice without disability justice is not just.

Union of Concerned Scientists@UCSUSA7 Mar 2023

"Clean technologies like energy storage have several benefits for households and our larger energy systems, but they can also be critical lifesaving tools for people with disabilities and health conditions."—UCS analyst Maria Chavez via @UtilityDive. utilitydive.com/news/energy-…

Energy storage can be a lifesaver for people with disabilities, but policymakers can do more

During climate disasters and extreme weather events, people with underlying health conditions and disabilities face global mortality rates that are four times higher than those without disabilities.
