Aceleron is using innovative circular economy batteries in a new range of electric ATVs. They have partnered with Eco Charger to deliver high-performing lithium batteries for Eco Charger’s new electric all-terrain vehicles. The Active 72V 22.5Ah battery will replace lead-acid batteries in their new 100% electric e-mobility range.
Jon Hourihan, Eco Charger’s CEO, said, “By choice or by law all industries will soon have to decarbonize. Aceleron’s batteries demonstrate that tailored engineering can provide low-carbon solutions across all e-mobility scenarios.”
Offering several benefits
The Active lithium battery, made in the UK, offers several benefits for the e-mobility market
The Active lithium battery, made in the UK, offers several benefits for the e-mobility market. At only 11kg, the battery is a lightweight solution offering higher energy density in the same familiar shape.
In addition, the circularity of their battery platform means the Active battery is serviceable, upgradeable and reusable.
Their battery technology allows them to solve two key industry problems at once:
- Decarbonization of transport.
- Mounting problem of waste from EVs.
Energy storage application
Transport is the largest emitter of UK carbon emissions. To combat this, the International Energy Agency (IEA) Global EV outlook estimated there will be 44 million new electric vehicles on the road every year by 2040.
This is positive for decarbonization but raises a new sustainability issue – waste. Estimates suggest this influx of EVs on the road could result in 22 million cubic meters of battery waste by 2040 - that's enough to fill up Wembley Stadium 20 times over!
Their battery solution is tackling this issue, by creating a battery that at the end of its life can be tested and remanufactured in order to be used in a secondary application. For example, from an EV to energy storage application.
