renault will recycle car batteries into home energy systems - home energy storage

French carmaker Renault is one of the first mainstream companies to enter the electric vehicle market, which is working with a home energy startup --
On a project that can make home solar systems affordable while giving new life to old electric vehicle batteries.
Renault's old EV batteries will be used for skyscanner home energy storage devices, which will enable consumers of solar panels installed on their properties to collect and store electricity generated through panels, in order to use later instead of drawing energy from the grid;
Or get and store electricity from the grid in the most affordable and cheap waypeak times.
Although the family is still very important in the early adopter stage
In recent months, as high-end companies such as Tesla and Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler launched products, the energy storage system has been reported by mainstream media.
The problem is that many current systems have premium labels due to the cost of the required batteries.
However, the price of these systems can be reduced by 30% by using old electric vehicle batteries.
That's why skyscanner's MD Joe Warren called it "an important milestone in our journey to achieve mainstream home energy storage applications ".
"The new generation of batteries used in electric vehicles began to lose the ability to keep charging in eight hoursto-
After 10 years, they can no longer cope with the daily charges --
Charging cycle.
However, they are still completely static enough, long
By looking for another use for the battery, Renault does not have to physically recycle the battery.
"The second service life not only gives the electric car battery an extra service life before recycling, but also saves consumers money. It's a win-win-
Win: Home for electric car owners-
Owner and Earth, "said Nicholas Short, director of battery and infrastructure projects for Renault electric vehicles.
The partnership, which will officially begin in July, will provide 50 test units for UK households that already have solar panels installed.
The pilot program will test the ability to recycle batteries and what consumers think about the technology. —
