Second‑Life Honda & Nissan EV Packs Power 24 MWh Texas Grid Storage

California‑based B2U Storage Solutions is building a 24 MWh energy storage facility east of San Antonio using ~500 second‑life EV battery packs - sourced from retired Honda and Nissan electric vehicles previously deployed in its California system. Their UL‑certified modular "plug‑and‑play" EPS system skips costly refurbishing and uses AI to manage trading into CPS Energy's grid. Texas is one of four planned sites totaling 100 MWh by mid‑2026.
