SEVES

Secondary use of EV batteries as an energy storage solution

Project summary

The development of transport electrification means the unsustainable production of expensive batteries including the high consumption of raw materials and, at the end of the life of battery electric vehicles (BEV), their energy-intensive recycling.

Sustainable electrified urban transport requires the provision of peak charging performance for shorter charging times. Extending battery life is offered as a possible solution. Used BEV batteries still have a capacity of about 70% and are suitable for energy storage. SEVES is testing energy storage using second-life batteries to support high-power charging in Prague.

Project start:

1 May 2022

Budget:

€699 096

Context

Development of an energy storage solution via secondary use of BEV batteries to speed up the transition to electrification of all modes of urban transport.

Challenge

Long charging times of electrified transport, the cost of energy storage, high consumption of raw materials, and energy-intensive recycling of batteries.

Expected outcome

Energy storage using second-life EV batteries to support the high-power charging of electric vehicles.
