SAN DIEGO (Sept. 11, 2023) — Smartville Inc., an EV battery-repurposing innovator, will unveil the Smartville 360™ Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) during the RE+ 2023 conference (booth #16012).
The Smartville 360™ BESS is a fully integrated, turnkey energy storage system. It combines high-quality repurposed automotive lithium-ion battery packs from multiple automotive makes and models that meet Smartville’s uncompromising specifications matched with proprietary safety and life-cycle optimization controls. The result is reliable performance and longevity from the most sustainable energy storage solution on the market today.
“Our EV battery repurposing and reuse platform is a key link to a lithium battery circular economy. It can potentially bring multitude of benefits to both transportation and energy storage sectors. We’ve developed the technologies, industry relationships and systems needed to deliver a sustainable repurposing solution to the U.S. market,” said Smartville Co-founder and CEO Antoni Tong.
While American drivers are rapidly switching to electric vehicles, this transition is creating a new opportunity: what to do with the rapidly growing supply of retired EV batteries —most with the majority of their storage capacity still left.
The Smartville 360™ features a configurable building-block design starting at 360 kilowatt-hours of available capacity which can be combined to meet any commercial, industrial and utility-scale application. Smartville has developed industry-leading battery screening, qualification and integration approaches to procure U.S.-sourced, high-quality tier-1 EV batteries to meet demand for the coming year and ensure it can fill its growing customer pipeline.
Among the Smartville 360™ attributes:
- RELIABLE – Proprietary battery power interfaces and energy management system ensure system reliability.
- SCALABLE – Building block design allows for stand-alone installation or large-scale deployment, hot-swappable units allow for efficient installation and replacement.
- SAFE – Comprehensive safety monitoring and intelligence with advanced fire detection and climate control.
- SUSTAINABLE – Advanced platform for repurposing EV battery packs, providing customers with a sustainable solution with low supply chain risks.
Smartville will officially launch the Smartville 360™ during RE+, North America’s largest clean energy industry event, in Las Vegas from Sept. 11 to 14.
