How can processes for second-life battery applications be standardized?

The growth of electric vehicles (EVs) in Bangladesh is leading to an increase in used EV batteries. These batteries still have the ability to store energy, but there’s a problem: we don’t have a standard way to reuse them. This lack of standard process is causing two main issues. First, it’s bad for the environment because these batteries could harm the soil and water if not handled properly. Second, it’s a waste of resources since these batteries could still be useful for things like storing extra electricity or providing backup power. Another big part of the problem is that there are no clear rules or guidelines on how to safely use, handle, and recycle these batteries. This makes it hard to find the best ways to reuse them. Without these guidelines, people might not know how to deal with these batteries safely, and we might not be making the most of their remaining power. To solve these problems and help the EV industry grow sustainably in Bangladesh, it’s really important to develop standard ways to handle, reuse, and recycle these EV batteries. This means setting up clear safety rules, figuring out how well these batteries should perform in their second life, and making sure they are recycled in a way that’s good for the environment. By doing this, we can take better care of the environment, make the most of these batteries, and maybe even create new business opportunities in battery recycling and reuse.
