Second-life batteries from test vehicles applied in new energy storage unit

Second-life batteries taken from prototype and engineering test vehicles are being used in the development of a zero-emissions energy storage unit. Lithium-ion cells from one-and-a-half second-life Jaguar I-Pace batteries are being incorporated into Pramac’s off grid battery energy storage system (ESS), which can have a capacity of up to 125kWh.

Andrew Whitworth, battery manager, circular economy team at Jaguar Land Rover, said, “This announcement is a great example of how we will collaborate with industry leaders to deliver our sustainable future and achieve a truly circular economy.
