Recycling and Disposal of Battery-Based Grid Energy Storage
At a cost of $175/hour for 4 hours, this step is estimated to cost $700. If the system did contain a liquid cooling methods, the ethylene glycol and water would need to be drained and placed into containers for disposal prior to transporting the PCS unit. We estimate this step would take 1 person 2 hours to complete.

How a Single Device Helps EVs Provide Cost-Effective Backup Power to Homes
"It doesn''t work when the grid is off, and it only sends power from the vehicle to the grid, not to the home where it''s needed." But there is another potential solution for both tapping EV batteries for backup power and enabling EV owners to earn revenue for providing grid services and helping utilities reduce their peak load.
