The main grid storage tech I've heard about recently relies on decade-old Nissan Leaf EV batteries that can be purchased second hand pretty cheaply (in comparison to brand new cells). Pretty neat way to repurpose them IMO.

It's profitable, so I'm assuming it should be reasonably affordable for utility companies or local municipalities to build and own grid storage facilities in the near future
