Fusion42 · 6 August 2026 · Fusion42 review

B2U Storage Solutions has deployed over 720 repurposed EV batteries in a San Antonio energy storage project selling into the ERCOT wholesale market, with a new strategic supply deal from Waymo providing a predictable stream of retired autonomous vehicle batteries for grid storage use in Texas.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can rapidly deploy cheaper grid storage by using retired EV batteries without modification, opening up fast market entry before new battery factories complete. If you work in clean energy, securing predictable second-life battery supply from fleets like Waymo offers a clear path to scale.
