Are used EV batteries available in ASEAN?

This report has provided future projections of available used EV batteries in ASEAN. Its magnitude is compared with the estimated need for stationary use for variable renewable energy sources. The report has also provided policy implications for ASEAN countries towards facilitating the reuse of batteries from EVs.

Which countries are responsible for EV battery reuse in ASEAN countries?

This chapter presents the electric vehicle (EV) battery reuse and/or recycling policies of the European Union (EU), the United States (US), Japan, and China. These are offered to draw implications for EV battery reuse policymaking in ASEAN countries. 2. Europe 2.1. EU Directive

Should ASEAN create a value chain for reusing waste batteries?

Meanwhile, the gap between the stationary usage for flexibility adjustment and supply from used EVs will be substantial – the need for stationary backup batteries for the Indochinese Peninsula and the Malay Peninsula would be 500–600 GWh. This gap implies the importance for ASEAN countries to create the value chain of reusing the waste batteries.

Can Thailand be a new production base for EV batteries?

Thailand can be a new production base for original equipment manufacturer batteries for export too. The application of battery energy storage systems in Thailand is in its infancy, and there is no official plan and target by the government with regard to battery reuse at present. Meanwhile, EV battery production is growing in Thailand.

Do ASEAN Power Systems need backup batteries?

According to an analysis on ASEAN power systems (focusing on the Indochinese Peninsula and the Malay Peninsula) by ERIA (2021), it is estimated to need backup batteries of 500–600 GWh when VRE accounts for 40% of the generation mix in 2040. A substantial gap is likely to exist.

Is electric vehicles a viable option in ASEAN?

Based on the 7th ASEAN Energy Outlook, transportation is the second largest energy-consuming sector with around 35% (2020) in the region, with oil products continuing to be the highest consumed. To reduce emissions and oil dependency, the deployment of electric vehicles is considered as viable optionc.
