We’re thrilled to announce a partnership with Redwood Materials to deploy a pioneering battery energy storage system at our Normal, Illinois manufacturing plant. Using more than 100 Rivian battery packs from decommissioned vehicles, we are creating 10 megawatt-hours (MWh) of dispatchable energy to support our on-site operations. This partnership gives a valuable energy resource a new life. While EV batteries are designed to last hundreds of thousands of miles, they can remain incredibly useful as stationary storage long after a vehicle is retired. By integrating these "second-life" packs into our manufacturing ecosystem, we can reduce grid load during peak demand, lower costs, and support a more resilient and secure power system without the need for new infrastructure. It’s a blueprint for rapidly scaling second-life batteries nationwide and building the grid of the future. “EVs represent a massive, distributed and highly competitive energy resource,” said Founder and CEO RJ Scaringe. “As energy needs grow, our grid needs to be flexible, secure, and affordable. Our partnership with Redwood enables us to utilize our vehicles’ batteries beyond the life of a vehicle and contribute to grid health and American competitiveness." We’re excited to work alongside the Redwood team to extend the useful life of our battery packs and support a reliable and secure future for American energy. ...Show more
