Volatus Infrastructure & Energy Solutions has partnered with ScoutIt to utilize electric vehicle (EV) batteries that can no longer be used in vehicles but still have life left in them.
VI&E Solutions will recycle the EV batteries by installing them in their new “battery wall” product line that will create an off-grid charging solution.
“The proliferation of electric transportation brings many new challenges. Being able to work with a company like ScoutIt to ensure continued life for EV batteries and develop new power storage technology is a blessing. Their understanding of battery lifecycles is second to none,” said Grant Fisk, VI&E Solutions co-founder and COO.
“Partnering with VI&E Solutions is a key step to ensure that eVTOL manufacturers, and the whole industry in general, have a clear strategy on how to handle batteries and what to do with them once they’re exhausted and can’t propel the aircraft. There’s so much potential in eVTOL batteries and we will help all the players create sustainable solutions and ensure a true eVTOL battery circular economy,” said Davide Giacobbe, Scoutit founder and CEO.
The mission at ScoutIt is to enable a true circular battery economy. No battery should be prematurely recycled or incorrectly disposed of. ScoutIt empowers each company with the tools to achieve exactly this: correctly manage and potentially profit from End-of-Life batteries and comply with disposal regulations. They do so by helping them efficiently track and manage EOL batteries and evaluate disposal alternatives and procedures.
