FRANCFORT (Reuters) – German car manufacturer Audi (NSUG.DE) and corporate app firm EnBW (EBKG.DE) are installing an electric car battery operation at the EnBW plant in Heilbronn to build scalable garage services until the end of this year, depending on the batteries melted to help the power networks.
Recycling and reusing electric vehicle batteries takes precedence for auto and battery manufacturers, while renewable energy corporations face the challenge of absorbing excess wind and solar energy to avoid wasting and disrupting grid stability, slowing the transition to the car’s natural carbon. loose power systems.
Alexander Kupfer, Audi’s circular economy allocation manager and guilty of his company’s on-site operations, said the cooperation component of Audi’s recycling commitments.
“We’re going to expand a plug-and-play battery garage solution for the power industry,” Kupfer said in an interview.
“The storage facility in Heilbronn will be the blueprint for a scaleable product that can be sold in growing numbers.”
Audi has been the behaviour of electric car batteries, which account for one-third of the unit prices of an electric vehicle, in a study conducted in Berlin over the past 3 years.
The batteries that will be used for the advertising phase of the task come from cars, which have traveled thousands of kilometers, Kupfer said.
“A used EV battery can still run from 3 to 10 years,” he says.
EnBW, the market leader in renewable energy, will build garage boxes at Heilbronn’s thermal power and cogeneration plant, which will serve as a reference site.
Subsequently, EnBW would expand garage equipment to be sold to commercial customers of electricity, local utilities or decentralized power plants.
