General Motors (GM) disclosed a partnership with Redwood Materials to deploy roughly 10,000 repurposed GM EV batteries into energy infrastructure projects, including a deployment at Crusoe's AI data center located in Sparks, Nevada. This initiative leverages second-life EV batteries to provide grid-scale energy storage solutions, reducing costs and enhancing sustainability for data center operations. The collaboration aligns with GM's broader vehicle-to-grid (V2G) strategy, which aims to integrate bidirectional charging capabilities across its EV portfolio, including brands such as Chevy and Cadillac. GM is also testing V2G technology with utility partners like Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) in Northern California and DTE Energy in Michigan, targeting fleet-wide grid-balancing services by 2030.
