Cover Story: Maximizing the usage of electric vehicle batteries is crucial for achieving efficient material use, reducing environmental impact and increasing economic profit. In line with circular economy principles, actions focused on the initial stages of the battery's lifecycle should take priority. These actions may include reducing the battery capacity to the minimum required to meet driving needs, extending battery life through vehicle-to-grid technology while simultaneously providing value to the grid, or prolonging the battery's use in the vehicle for as long as possible. Indeed, cost analysis shows that these strategies are more profitable than relying on second-life applications. Therefore, investment efforts and regulatory measures should be directed towards maximizing the first life of the battery. View this paper
