About
​

We worked with Electric Vehicle manufacturers to repurpose their batteries for rural nano grids. Commercialising second-life batteries help OEMs recover recycling costs for these batteries. 

 

During the process, I tackled a number of challenges with the design, like:

· Ease of assembly and use;

· Modularity

· Recyclability at end-of-life

 

Goal was to build affordable, and simple-to-manufacture system without compromising its aesthetics, and use standard parts that are repairable and recyclable. By these products we aim to be a major contributor in recovering maximum value for batteries and help make the battery ecosystem truly circular.
