Repurposed batteries from the I-Pace electric SUV have been used to create a portable EV charger, which holds enough energy to power a house for a week.
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is investigating new ways to extend the life of its electric-car batteries, with the latest being a portable EV charger that uses decommissioned battery packs from the Jaguar I-Pace luxury SUV.
The new Off-Grid Battery Energy Storage System (ESS) is designed for situations when access to mains electricity is limited or unavailable, with integrated solar panels used to top it up. The unit has a capacity of up to 125kWh, which JLR claims is enough energy to power a typical family home for a week.
