Electric vehicle batteries last much longer than a lot of people think. Non-EV owners’ battery experience, and ultimately the overall perception of battery performance, are probably guided by everyday consumer devices such as mobile phones where they probably have to change the battery after a couple of years.
“EVs improve decarbonization efforts and offer improvements in urban air quality. EV batteries, once removed, have a residual capacity of 80% and that they are ideal for stationary storage. In China, an agreement has been signed that base stations in the country will have their batteries replaced with second-life batteries.” Lance Dickerson, CEO of Revov.
“We offer a 10-year warranty equally on both LiFe and 2nd LiFe. LFP batteries have the added environmental benefit of being free from Cobalt – cobalt mining has a massive negative environmental and social impact. The operating performance of EV LFP batteries is of the highest standard and compared to storage grade LFP batteries are actually manufactured to international standards and are therefore of a much higher quality and have more predictable lengths of life which we can rely upon for second life.”
