Renewable energy from used car batteries

JLR has partnered with Wykes Engineering, a specialist in the renewable energy sector, to develop one of the largest energy storage systems in the UK to harness solar and wind power using second-life Jaguar I-PACE batteries. A single Wykes Engineering BESS utilises 30 second-life I-PACE batteries, and can store up to 2.5MWh of energy at full capacity. JLR provided the batteries from prototype and engineering test vehicles, and the company aims to provide enough batteries to store a total of 7.5MWh of energy – enough to power 750 homes for a day – by the end of 2023.
