reused and repurposed, pushing batteries to new limits

Mobilize makes the most of Renault Group’s expertise and its industrial infrastructure in relation to the circular economy. Its Refactory in Flins, near Paris, is the first automotive site in Europe to specialise in the circular economy. Mobilize is developing new applications based on using second-life batteries for low-carbon energy storage and management.

Preserving resources starts with halting the development of “throw-away products”, and producing objects that can be used for as long as possible, then reused for other purposes, and finally recycled for other uses. Mobilize has applied this principle to the batteries of electric vehicles. Second-life batteries not only support the transition to low-carbon energy with their capacity to store green electricity as soon as it is produced from intermittent renewable energies, they also help to preserve resources. And when the battery finally comes to the end of its multiple lives, it can be carefully recycled.
