What is the demand for affordable, safe, and tested used EV batteries?

[All Things Electric]

Exploratory Question: Making this thread to see who would be interested in purchasing affordable, capacity-tested, quality batteries pulled from cars. Let me know if you're interested! They would be available in whole packs, modules, or individual cells to accommodate an EV build or any other application.

I'm betting there would be more demand in the RV world, or off grid living, simply because of higher capacities required.

Thanks for the heads up! I definitely have ideas on how to compete

Musk's former partner, JB Straubel, came out of stealth mode with his Redwood Materials, and Li-Ion recovery/recycling is their game, with big bet Palo Alto VC backers, and already some major brand commitments. There are tons of discarded Li-ion in public landfills too, hopefully some of that can be recovered for the bigger mission. Magnet recyclers too. Team USA is going to have to get creative, and thankfully there are people up to task.
