The aim of charge@work is to design a micro smart grid (MSG) capable of supplying the EV fleet with electricity produced exclusively from renewable sources. In addition, a lithium-ion battery storage unit will be added to the basement. The MSG can be run in island mode in parallel to the grid operated by the local energy provider.

The cost of Li-ion batteries currently affects the affordability of plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles (PHEV/EV) for consumers. While these PHEV/EV batteries degraded to 70%-80% of their original power/capacity are insufficient for automotive use, these aged batteries may still be useful and could be reused in other applications.

An EV battery doesn’t look much different from the one you have currently powering your smartphone. An EV doesn’t use only one Li-ion (lithium-ion) battery, though. While on the road, the motor turns this alteration into power. Li-ion batteries have been around since 1991, but only in 2008 were applied to cars.
