Could repurposing EV batteries for second life applications hold the key to stabilising residual values and accelerating EV adoption? The decline in EV residual values is a major challenge for the automotive industry, impacting leasing models and consumer demand. However, giving EV batteries a second life as energy storage offers a solution that improves RVs and enhances sustainability by reusing valuable resources. At Connected Energy, we’ve seen first-hand how second-life battery systems can generate significant revenue and reduce ecological footprints.

About us
Connected Energy is a world leader in battery energy storage. Our business combines low-carbon mobility, energy transition, and the circular economy. Our energy storage technology is being used by businesses across Europe to store electricity – either from renewable generation such as PV and wind or from the grid – to use it when they need it most.
We're one of only a few companies worldwide with the proven technology to reuse end-of-life electric vehicle batteries and bring them back to life as energy storage. In doing so, we have created a solution that solves many of the power challenges businesses face. Our product helps customers take control of the energy available to them, make the most of solar or wind generation, optimise a site’s energy use by managing demand and overcoming capacity constraints.
We’re on a mission to help the world embrace sustainable energy solutions. As the world strives for a low-carbon future, our systems are the true bridge to a clean energy future. By maximising EV batteries as an energy store, we are doing things differently to make a huge, positive impact on the planet.
