JLR has entered into a cooperation with the start-up Allye Energy. Both companies are jointly working on a new battery storage system that provides power on the go. The Battery Energy Storage System, or BESS for short, is made up of used PHEV batteries.

An Allye MAX BESS holds seven used Range Rover and Range Rover Sport PHEV battery packs, which are removed from the vehicles and placed into specially manufactured racks. Each BESS can store 270 kWh of energy at full capacity.

Charge up to nine vehicles simultaneously.

The BESS, which is the first to use the second-life Range Rover batteries from JLR, can charge up to nine Range Rover PHEVs at once. It is designed to be easily connected to a CCS-capable charger using the same input as the automaker's existing PHEV and BEV product portfolio. In addition, multi-input connectivity via Powerlock connections allows for connection to renewable energy sources at off-grid locations.

Off-grid in remote areas.

The MAX BESS can replace existing diesel generators to operate off-grid in remote areas and conduct vehicle tests there, for example. The automaker's engineers are the first to use the new BESS and provide emission-free power during the tests of the new Range Rover Electric, which is set to hit the market later this year.

An average diesel generator usually consumes 16 liters of fuel per hour. The automaker wants to use the BESS for more than 1,000 test hours and save more than 15,494 kg of CO₂ over the course of a year.

Usable as an energy buffer.

The system weighs less than 3.5 tons and can be used both mobil and stationarily as energy storage for retailers or JLR sites. According to the company, it can help improve solar energy usage and act as an energy buffer to support fast charging where the local grid connection may be limited. Particularly for the approximately 3,000 retailers a help. The unit should also be commercially available for use outside of JLR. (se)
