PHMSA has not established a specific baseline benchmark for discharge times or methods. Instead, solutions will be evaluated on their market competitiveness and overall economic viability. Proposers should demonstrate how their solution optimizes the cost-benefit ratio; specifically, the financial and logistical savings gained from transporting non-hazardous, conditioned batteries should outweigh the operational cost of implementing the discharge solution. The ultimate goal is to safely lower the total cost of end-of-life battery transit.
