MG Motor India Partners With Lohum To Reuse EV Batteries

On the one hand, we have MG Motor India, a brand that currently sells two battery-powered EVs in India – the ZS EV and the Comet EV. And on the other hand, we have Lohum – India’s largest producer of sustainable energy transition materials. On this year’s World Environment Day, the two firms have announced a partnership to build an ecosystem for the reuse and the life cycle management of EV batteries. In other words, the duo will explore ways to utilise already-used EV batteries and repurpose them for energy storage solutions. One such product has already been developed. It’s called BESS (Battery Energy Storage System), with an energy storage capacity of 5kWh. This can be planted anywhere to provide uninterrupted power supply in regions with unreliable grid infrastructure. Expect more such solutions in times to come.
