Jaguar Land Rover has developed a mobile energy storage unit for sale in partnership with UK startup Allye Energy using used batteries from plug-in hybrid Range Rover models, the two companies said on Tuesday.
The companies said a single Allye MAX Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) uses second-life batteries from seven Range Rover and Range Rover Sport plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) and can store 270 kilowatt hours (kWh) of energy, or enough to power a British home for close to a month.
