This is the big snag with EVs (as with solar panels and wind turbines): how much does a battery really cost if you factor in recycling and environmental damages? (Sorry about the slideshow format.)

yeah there are a number of stackable kits around. but no, they would be new batteries.
check out https://batteryhookup.com/ they always have recovered cells. look at these:
i could do it, but the shipping to Australia is prohibitive. I am certain that they could do something, based off of a number of different module types from different EV manufacturers (Tesla, BYD, Nissan, etc), and build out a framework that can stack them together using as common as possible materials to make it lego-like.
anyway, thats the dream!
thanks for the link!
that looks super DIY though… having to get the BMS, and then wiring it up properly is beyond my skills, I’ll probably go with a server rack battery that has the BMS other nice features built in.
yes. i agree.
What i am saying, as for reuse, i want a company to start up that builds and sells the reuseable EV batteries as home storage. no need for us to get our hands dirty, or even know what BMS is.
