Second-life EV batteries roped into energy storage

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has partnered with energy storage start-up Allye Energy to create a novel Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to provide zero emissions power on the go.

A single Allye MAX BESS holds seven second-life Range Rover and Range Rover Sport PHEV battery packs that are simply removed from the vehicles and slotted into customised racks, without unnecessary additional processing. Each BESS can store 270kWh of energy at full capacity, enough to power the average UK household for nearly a month*.

 

And what is the cost of "customised racks" and the necessary household rewiring?

 

The beautiful thing about the free-market system is that Jaguar Land Rover can do all this analysis, calculate the ROI, and market a product.

 

Yes, they certainly can.

 

Yep, repurposing spent EV batteries!
