Nissan will give a second life to LEAF batteries

LEAF and Green Charge Networks have announced a partnership . The main goal is the development of household battery systems based on already used batteries for the Nissan Leaf car. In this project, Nissan will compete with Tesla and Mercedes.

It is worth recalling that Tesla now produces battery systems , both domestic and corporate, offering its development at a low percentage with the possibility of paying a loan for 10 years. In addition, Mercedes recently announced its intention to release similar systems.

Nissan plans to build battery systems based on the already used LEAF electric car batteries. In this case, only batteries that can no longer be used to ensure the operation of the car will be used. According to company representatives, the idea is no longer just a concept, the project is being gradually implemented. The developers claim that old batteries, despite some loss of capacity, are still able to work for a long time. And when combining several batteries, you can form a fully functional system of a certain capacity.



At the end of summer, such systems will be used at Nissan’s own factory in California, USA. Here the batteries will help relieve the load on the enterprise’s power system at times of peak energy consumption.

After some time, such batteries will appear on the market, they will be sold through 4R Energy. The project itself will allow you to find a reliable way to dispose of used batteries, as well as get additional profit, as well as the approval of environmental organizations and customers who listen to the opinion of such organizations.
