MG Motor India has partnered with Exicom Tele-Systems for second-life use of ZS EV batteries. Under the partnership, Exicom plans to re-deploy MG ZS EV batteries at the end of their useful life in the car. It will also put these batteries through a controlled process of evaluation, disassembly and repackaging to design custom battery packs for non-automotive applications. MG Motor India will launch the ZS EV SUV, its first electric vehicle on 5th December.
Rajeev Chaba, president and MD, MG Motor India, said, “Over the past few months, we have worked towards creating the right ecosystem for our customers, ahead of the launch of the ZS EV, including charging infrastructure and busting common myths around EVs. Another question which people have is ‘what happens to the EV battery after the product lifecycle ends. Our latest partnership focuses on second-life applications for used EV battery packs, to ensure environment-friendly battery disposal, which will only serve to bolster the country’s progress towards this critical objective.”
Partnership with Delta Electronics
The automaker said that the reuse of discarded EV battery packs will reduce the dependence on the limited resources. These battery packs can be used in many non-automotive applications like home inverters, commercial and industrial UPS and renewable energy storage. Recently, MG Motor had partnered with Delta Electronics to establish AC chargers in private parking space to provide easy charging experience for its customers.
Anant Nahata, MD, Exicom Tele-Systems said, “Making electric mobility mainstream is one of the biggest challenges and opportunities we face. E-mobility also represents an important opportunity to overhaul our energy infrastructure and make necessary investments in renewables and new grid technologies.”
