It also depends on the batteries themselves. An older Nissan leaf? Doubt it. A newer Tesla? I sure hope so.

Im curious as to how car batteries will be repurposed to use for energy storage. Once they degrade to the point of only holding charge for short trips, can they still be used for other scenarios that don’t require as much from them?

They're already used for industrial storage of surplus solar- and wind power.

I'm my opinion the big problem with electric cars are the price of replacement batteries in combination with buying used.
