Moment Energy monetizes retired EV packs
Moment Energy
This supply side service is what turns retired EV packs from a disposal problem into a battery sourcing moat. For automakers and fleet operators, the hard part is not finding a recycler, it is moving hazardous packs, documenting chain of custody, testing state of health, managing liability, and placing each pack into a certified end use. Moment Energy wraps those steps into one workflow, then captures the spread between low cost battery intake and higher value stationary storage sales.

A retired pack can follow two very different value paths. Recycling breaks it down into lithium, nickel, and other materials. Repurposing keeps the pack usable as energy storage. Moment sits in between, screening packs and routing the healthy ones into Luna systems instead of the shredder.

That is strategically important because battery owners usually do not want to build reverse logistics and compliance operations themselves. Moment already works with more than 20 battery manufacturers and OEM partners, and its UL 1974 certified repurposing facility gives sellers a documented path that insurers, permitting authorities, and buyers can underwrite.

The closest integrated comparison is Redwood Materials. Redwood can choose pack by pack whether reuse or recycling creates more value, because it operates both pathways. That makes feedstock access a live competitive battleground, and explains why Moment needs deep OEM relationships, not just a cheaper battery cabinet.
As more first generation EVs age out, the winners in second life storage will be the companies that control battery intake, certification, and disposition, not just assembly. The market is heading toward a split where some packs go straight to materials recovery, while the best packs are captured by operators that can prove safety, move fast, and turn logistics into margin.
