It is estimated that cascade utilization of batteries can extend the service life of batteries by 6 to 30 years. But this period ultimately depends on how well the battery is used during the first application. Then, if wireless battery management system (wBMS) technology can collect battery data contactlessly over the entire life cycle of the battery, it also has other important advantages. This vital data can be integrated into the cloud and linked to the battery's safety features.

Sellers can use this data to generate a health history record before deciding to put the battery into tier utilization: How many times has the battery been fully/partially charged and discharged by an EV owner? Has this electric car ever been involved in an accident? What can be seen from the maintenance record of the vehicle? In addition, this granular health monitoring can also be applied where it is logically impossible to collect data: Are new or cascaded batteries properly stored in the warehouse? Did anything happen during shipping?

After use and reuse, all batteries are eventually broken down and recycled. Wireless BMS technology can characterize inventory information in large quantities without contact, helping to quickly make reuse or recycling decisions. Once a decision has been made to reuse or recycle, buyers and sellers can use health data (through technologies such as wireless BMS) to establish a normalized foundation of trust and fairly value the battery before agreeing to a sale price. The industry could even develop a rating standard that distinguishes less-used AAA-rated batteries from poorly maintained ones.

The new field of sustainable development looks forward to the arrival of electric vehicle batteries.

The field of electric vehicles is advancing by leaps and bounds, and batteries will play a key role in promoting environmentally friendly transportation. While battery cascade utilization is a high-value intermediate step before recycling, its success depends on the overall usage of the battery in its initial and subsequent applications. The overall life of the battery must be considered when designing the battery and BMS. This may require a mindset shift by battery suppliers and automakers, but in the long run they can play an important role in creating new market channels that are environmentally sustainable and economically viable.

In addition to this, the automotive industry is developing a number of environmentally and socially related initiatives that will have benefits now and in the future. These include removing cobalt from battery chemistry (controversial over how it is mined); and reducing emissions from the production of automotive materials such as aluminum and plastics—all in an effort to achieve zero-carbon vehicles.

ADI is also actively working to achieve environmental sustainability goals, including: net zero emissions by 2050, carbon neutrality by 2030, CO2 and CO2e emissions by 2030, water use at all facilities Cut in half, and so on.

Therefore, in the near future, we will all feel good about driving environmentally friendly electric vehicles, and it is even more gratifying that the electric vehicle batteries in them will also be reborn in echelon applications, in future cars, energy storage systems or other applications continue to play its role.
