Used electric vehicle batteries from aging Renault Zoe and Nissan Leaf models are facing a pivotal transition as warranties expire, with demand shifting toward second-life applications. Industry analyst Circunomics predicts these batteries will increasingly be repurposed for vehicle use, grid energy storage, or recycling, as supply outpaces demand. The growing oversupply is expected to maintain downward pressure on battery prices, reshaping the market for both new and refurbished energy storage solutions.
As early Renault Zoes and Nissan Leafs age out of warranty, Circunomics says used batteries will split between vehicles, grid storage and recycling, while oversupply keeps pressure on prices.
