This energy storage unit is made from used JLR batteries

The British manufacturer, a subsidiary of the Tata group, is developing an energy storage unit using Range Rover batteries. This mobile energy storage unit can store enough to power a UK home for almost a month.

Jaguar Land Rover developed a mobile power storage unit for sale in partnership with uni-uni startup Allye Energy using used batteries from the model. Range Rover plugging hybrids.

Book a house for a month…

One Allye MAX Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) uses second-life batteries from seven Range Rover hybrids and Range Rover Sport and can store 270 kilowatt hours (kWh) of energy, or enough to power a UK home for almost a month. MAX BESS can charge up to nine Range Rover PHEVs simultaneously and can be recharged using a standard EV charger.

let’s remember that European Union demanded that in the next decade an increasing number of components in electric car batteries should be recycled and that car manufacturers consider the use of second-life batteries – such as energy storage that uses healthy batteries that no longer have enough power to power cars long distance electricity. .

JLR said the storage unit can replace the diesel generator and the first one will be used by the company’s engineering team to test the Range Rover Electric to be launched later this year. « Creating battery recycling projects like this is essential if we want sustainability to be a reality at JLR »said Reuben Chorley, director of sustainable manufacturing operations at JLR, in a statement.
