Nissan Leaf batteries could be recycled for power grid backup | The Tennessean | tennessean.com

Nissan Leaf batteries could be recycled for power grid backup | The Tennessean | tennessean.com: "Nissan has joined forces with three energy-technology companies to develop a way to use retired lithium-ion battery packs from electric vehicles to store electricity from the public power grid during off-peak hours, and then make it available for use when electricity use is heavy, such as hot summer afternoons.

Franklin-based Nissan North America Inc. said Wednesday that the technology it will explore with the energy companies would allow batteries from its Leaf electric cars to be converted to backup power sources for residential and commercial use after they are removed from the cars."
