Nissan is recycling old LEAF batteries into portable power sources. Auto123 has the details.
When it comes to electric vehicles, the issue of battery recycling is a big source of debate and attention. It's essential to the very mission of the electric car, which is to use fewer resources at the end of its life cycle.
The exercise also sheds light on a question that was widely asked when the model arrived in 2011: would the battery last as long as the vehicle? The answer is now in sight, as many of those early models are no longer on the road, while their batteries are being reclaimed for another life. The energy source, which weighs 14.4 kg, is sold in Japan for the equivalent of around $1,500 CAD. Sales have not yet begun in other markets.
