Used Waymo Robotaxi Batteries Become Backup Storage For Power Grids

Waymo and B2U Storage Solutions have agreed to repurpose used robotaxi batteries into stationary energy storage for California and Texas power grids. The batteries will support local grids that power Waymo's autonomous vehicles. The arrangement enables used electric vehicle batteries to serve a second function after vehicle use ends. This supports renewable energy storage in regions where Waymo operates robotaxis.
