Blog: Curious about the EV Battery’s Destination When its Job is done?

A problem for some motorists swapping their sights to EV, is the destination of the battery when it’s vehicle time is done.

BESS

These EV batteries are used for second life battery energy storage systems. Known as BESS batteries, which are re- making the market for energy. Many of them are still in the market, they are still being used, not discarded. Two huge organisations employing these batteries for use are UK's Powervault and Tesla Powerwall; to name two. 


Lots of studies have taken place. For a gleaming example: 5 Tesla Model S 90D cars, tripling in experience years, performed 1.5 million miles. As a result, the batteries were in an impressively high quality state of condition at 82 percent. The destination of these electric batteries are within in different devices. Fear no more.


Tesla Offer

Did you know, that Tesla will replace your Model S or X if recent, and if it falls under a 252 mile range. The second condition is it must be less than 8 years or under 150,000 miles. Jaguar I-Pace and Mercedes- Benz furnishes a 100,000 mile & eight year warranty for their electric batteries. These are big brands, so the takeaway is that lesser branded vehicles will have more questioning surrounding battery life and their end-point destination.

 

Avoiding Battery Burnout

Stopping the battery from burnout is the aim. Avoid supercharging. Giving your battery rest for a couple of hours- once- each week at a low SoC will help you steer clear.

 

What is SoC?

The absolute measure (not the vodka brand) but of the currency of future battery trading.

 

Danger Zone

Don't let it the charge of your battery drop to less than 70 percent, this is slipping into the danger zone of undercharging, depending on the model of car you drive, however simply in general for electric vehicles, its better to not allow your car to be low on energy. Treat it well. 


In Conclusion

These batteries are used again, recycled. Not even that, they are practically used as batteries in other devices, other cars. If they have a purpose, they should not be discarded. Companies know this, hence the BESS system.
