The end result is nothing short of impressive. Toyota says that by the middle of the decade, the now-commissioned energy storage system will feed around 100,000 kWh of electricity into the public grid.The company’s partner, Jera, is also looking into developing a sustainable recycling process for lithium-ion batteries.
Other automotive brands have embarked on similar projects. Audi, for example, is using recycled vehicle batteries to power electric rickshaws in India. Elsewhere, the Ingolstadt-based brand also makes use of recycled batteries at some charging stations, where they serve as an eco-friendly energy storage solution.
