- MG India and Lohum partnership aims to develop the concept of second-life solutions for batteries, ensuring their efficient utilization and contributing to the circular economy.
- The project will harness the potential of used batteries by repurposing them as Battery Energy Storage Products (BESS), effectively extending their life cycle and optimizing resource usage.
- Lohum will reuse end-of-first-life batteries of MG electric vehicles to build sustainable 2nd-life Battery Energy Storage Systems for a wide variety of clean energy applications in India’s urban and rural landscape.
- Lohum's proprietary repurposing technology will be used to maximize the potential of cells before recycling, utilizing healthy cells high on Remaining Useful Life to build sustainable 2nd-life BESS Products.
- The initial offering will be a 100% Off-Grid, 5kWh BESS to meet India's essential energy needs by solving end-of-life EV battery problem. It will provide uninterrupted power supply even with unreliable grid infrastructure.
