“Through this partnership, we can offer second-life products while helping to reduce the environmental footprint in line with our ambitions for carbon neutrality by 2050,” Low explains.
By implementing the innovative reuse strategy, the team hopes not only to extend the lifespan of EV battery components – such as nickel and cobalt, which are in high demand – but also to contribute to a more sustainable energy system by reducing waste, conserving resources, and supporting long-term climate goals.
Joining forces for a green transition
