MG Motor Associates With Exicom To Recycle Ev Batteries

The British carmaker, MG Motor has partnered with Exicom Tele-Systems, which is a EV charging infrastructure and Li-ion battery solutions provider, ahead of launching its MG ZS electric vehicle in India. The goal behind this association is to recycle batteries from electric cars. Under the association, Exicom aims to reuse MG ZS EV batteries, when the batteries reach its end of useful life. The company plans to put the batteries through a guided method of disassembly, evaluation and repackaging to create custom battery hubs for non-automotive purposes.

President and MD, MG Motor India, Rajeev Chaba said “Over the past few months, we have worked towards creating the right ecosystem for our customers, ahead of the launch of the ZS EV, including charging infrastructure and busting common myths around EVs. Another question which people have is ‘what happens to the EV battery after the product lifecycle ends. Our latest partnership focuses on second-life applications for used EV battery packs, to ensure environment-friendly battery disposal, which will only serve to bolster the country’s progress towards this critical objective.”

According to the carmaker, the recycling of discarded battery hubs will decrease the dependency on limited supplies. In addition to that, these battery hubs can be utilised in a plethora of non-automotive applications like commercial UPS, home inverters, renewable energy storage and industrial UPS.

The MD of Exicom Tele-Systems, Anant Nahata, stated that they are remarkably overwhelmed to partner with MG, which is centred on furnishing the EV culture in India. “E-mobility also represents an important opportunity to overhaul our energy infrastructure and make necessary investments in renewables and new grid technologies,” added Nahata.

 The carmaker has re-declared its scheme to 'define and lead' the EV ecosystem, and the association strives for an effortless ownership experience for all its EV buyers. Moreover, MG ZS EV is scheduled to make its official debut on December 5 in India.
