Lohum, MG Motor India collaborate for EV battery solutions
Lohum, an integrated battery recycling and repurposing solutions provider, has teamed up with MG Motor India to develop second-life solutions for the car maker's EV batteries. Under the collaboration, Lohum will reuse end-of-first-life batteries of MG electric vehicles to build 2nd-life Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) for a wide variety of clean energy applications in domestic urban and rural markets.
As part of the collaboration, it also rolled out a completely off-grid 5kWh battery energy storage system for an uninterrupted power supply even in regions with unreliable grid infrastructure.
MG Motor India currently sells its ZS EV, besides the recently launched small electric car Comet EV, in the domestic market.
"We anticipate over 1-GW of batteries to be deployed by MG Motor in the market through its vehicles, in roughly a three years period.
