Like many people on this forum, I’m not an expert on battery technology, but I do read what has been written by experts. According to EDF, VW are planning to build a plant that will take depleted batteries and assess them. Some batteries will be refurbished, some will be repurposed, and some will be recycled to reclaim the precious metals. Refurbished batteries will probably have 80% of original capacity.
I’m not sure how much you think a Volvo technician will able to do at your local dealership, but I doubt it would be more than replacing a depleted cell with a new one.
12v lead acid batteries can also be refurbished, but I don’t think you’ll ever see your local dealership doing it.
