Battery Revolution Clubhouse Recording - Closing the Loop: Repurposed EV Batteries in Mobile On-grid ESS
This podcast focuses on the repurposing of EV batteries for energy storage systems (ESS). Lorenzo Bergamaschi highlights Allye's approach to using intact EV battery packs for grid applications, avoiding the complex and costly process of dismantling and reassembling batteries. He emphasizes the importance of safety, the innovative testing and grading system developed with their EV recycler partners, and the economic and environmental benefits of repurposing batteries over recycling. His discussion with Dr. Simon Engelke & Mariam also touch on navigating the challenges and strategies related to logistics, insurance, and regulatory compliance, particularly with the upcoming battery passport in the EU. Monthly Battery Revolution Clubhouse Sessions are co-hosted by Katherine Kan, Mariam Awara, and Dr. Simon Engelke.
