End of life EV batteries don't get chucked away. They are re-purposed into storage arrays for virtual power plants/demand response systems for renewable generation sources. There is enormous demand for these, and the fact that vehicle batteries are generally lasting much longer than the original estimates predicted mean that the value is really quite high.

Just curious - where do they go after they have insufficient capacity for such use?

BTW I'm with you on the i3 Rex. BMW apparently dropped it as customers had problems with the ICE plant - mainly due to lack of use. Have a feeling I read that here somewhere...
