The US market dominated the North America Second Life EV Battery Market by Country in 2024, and would continue to be a dominant market till 2032; thereby, achieving a market value of $3,181.4 million by 2032. The Canada market is experiencing a CAGR of 43.9% during (2025 - 2032). Additionally, The Mexico market would exhibit a CAGR of 42.7% during (2025 - 2032). The US and Canada led the North America Second Life EV Battery Market by Country with a market share of 69% and 14.9% in 2024.

The North American second-life EV battery market is changing quickly because there are more retired EV batteries, more storage needs for renewable energy, and strong government support. As the first life of early EV fleets comes to an end, automakers and energy-storage companies are using old lithium-ion batteries for stationary storage uses like grid support, commercial backup, and renewable integration. The U.S. Department of Energy's Electric Drive Vehicle Battery Recycling and 2nd Life Apps program and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law are two examples of government programs that are paying for research, demonstration projects, and infrastructure for repurposing. OEMs and recyclers are teaming up increasingly, like General Motors and Redwood Materials. This shows how reuse and recycling can create value over time. These changes are turning second-life batteries from experimental pilots into energy-storage assets that can be sold and used in a way that is both cost-effective and good for the environment.

Key players in the industry are focusing on partnerships, scaling up the domestic value chain, being cost-effective, and integrating the entire lifecycle. Companies are putting money into infrastructure for diagnostics, disassembly, and repackaging so that second-life storage systems can be used on a large scale. They are also taking advantage of the lower cost and carbon footprint of repurposed batteries. Redwood Materials is an example of a circular business model because it handles both repurposing items for a second life and recycling them when they are no longer useful. The competitive landscape is still new, but it is becoming clearer that OEMs, recyclers, and system integrators are all fighting for access to retired batteries and efficient repurposing operations. As certification and safety standards improve, the second-life EV battery market in North America is about to move from pilot scale to a mainstream market that supports renewable energy and a more resilient grid.

End Use Outlook

Based on End Use, the market is segmented into Commercial & Industrial (C&I), Utilities and Residential. The Commercial & Industrial (C&I) market segment dominated the US Second Life EV Battery Market by End Use is expected to grow at a CAGR of 39.8 % during the forecast period thereby continuing its dominance until 2032. Also, The Residential market is anticipated to grow as a CAGR of 41.3 % during the forecast period during (2025 - 2032).

Application Outlook

Based on Application, the market is segmented into Power Backup/UPS, Renewable Energy Storage, EV Charging Stations and Grid-Scale ESS & Others. Among various Canada Second Life EV Battery Market by Application; The Power Backup/UPS market achieved a market size of USD $24.9 Million in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 43.3 % during the forecast period. The EV Charging Stations market is predicted to experience a CAGR of 45.2% throughout the forecast period from (2025 - 2032).

Country Outlook

The US is quickly building a circular economy for EV batteries, thanks to strong government programs and private investments. The National Blueprint for Lithium Batteries from the Department of Energy and the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework from the EPA both aim to improve the security of the domestic supply chain while encouraging the reuse, repurposing, and recycling of batteries. The growth of battery manufacturing, assembly, and critical mineral extraction is being driven by the rise in electric vehicle (EV) use and more than $208 billion in private-sector investments. Increasingly, automakers and recyclers are working together on projects to take back batteries, reuse them, and store energy for a second life. The U.S. is becoming an important market for second-life EV batteries, but infrastructure, logistics, and regulations are still changing, so most projects are still in the pilot or early deployment stages.
