Jaguar I-Pace second-life batteries in new energy storage units.
Jaguar has partnered with energy specialist Pramac to develop portable energy storage units using second-life Jaguar I-Pace batteries.
It’s no secret that electric car batteries have a shelf life – just like the batteries in your laptop or phone – but even when they reach the end of their useful life they’re full of valuable materials.
So finding ways to make use of what will be an ever-growing pile of used batteries in the coming years is vital if we’re to have enough rare materials at sensible prices to keep churning out new batteries, so recycling is key.
But simply scavenging batteries from cars to retrieve materials isn’t the only way forward, there’s also the option of re-purposing the batteries for new uses. Which is just what JLR is doing with I-Pace batteries.
It’s teamed up with energy storage…
