Second life: Maximizing lifecycle value of EV batteries
Second life: Maximizing lifecycle value of EV batteries
Electric vehicles (EVs) have seen remarkable growth, especially in the automotive and public transportation sectors. However, their up-front cost hampers further expansion. Addressing this challenge involves reducing the most substantial fixed cost element: the battery. This Viewpoint explores the practice of repurposing as an option for reducing costs.

Italian gas distribution tenders
The Italian gas distribution sector is expected to face a new tender season in the short to medium term. All the concessions in the country have been bundled together in order to create ATEMs, concessions larger than the average DSO size. Each ATEM will be awarded after a tendering process. Utilities as well as infrastructure funds thus have a window of opportunity to invest in the Italian market, which is undergoing a consolidation process.
