IN THE NEWS
“Nous avons la volonté de prolonger la durée de vie des batteries », explique sa cofondatrice, Ambre Eppler. La société réceptionne les modèles endommagés, examine leur état, puis mène une opération à coeur ouvert. « Nous parvenons à réparer 75 % des batteries qui nous sont livrées », glisse-t-elle. Au total, la société indique avoir donné un coup de neuf à « plusieurs milliers de batteries » depuis son lancement.”
“80 percent of the defective batteries that come to us, we immediately repair ’, says Doornekamp. ‘17 percent are used for the repair of other batteries and reuse. Only 3 percent is waste. In addition, we purchase batches of batteries that no longer meet the original application. After testing and repair, we sell it again to parties that make battery storage systems. In addition, NOWOS takes care of the storage of batteries for clients, in accordance with the PGS 37 directive, which lays down safety requirements for the commercial storage of batteries and energy storage systems.”
“With regulations across Europe expected to increase, companies that invest in battery repair will be well-positioned to meet stricter environmental standards. Those that adopt a proactive approach to battery management, emphasizing repair and reuse before disposal, are likely to enjoy a competitive advantage as global and local regulations continue to evolve.”
“Installée depuis fin 2020 à Amplepuis, Nowos prolonge la vie des batteries lithium de la flotte d’acteurs mondiaux de la micromobilité. Grâce à un nouveau partenariat avec Voi Technology, elle vient de reconditionner 11 000 batteries en quelques mois.”
