En 中文
• Novel cascading framework routes EV batteries through second and third life stages. • Defines specific SOH bands for second (60–80%) and third life (40–60%) suitability • Maps third-life batteries to standby roles like UPS under strict derating • Provides an eight-pillar policy framework for safe use in developing countries • Synthesizes technical and regulatory evidence into an actionable routing guide
