Eaton and Nissan power ahead with second-life battery systems

摘要

Eaton and Nissan have partnered to combine their expertise in power electronics and lithium-ion batteries respectively, to bring reliable and cost-competitive energy storage and control technologies to the market. Robert Lujan, electric vehicle director (left in picture), Nissan Global, said: "The batteries as power units far outlast the typical life of a car. Having produced our own electric vehicle batteries at our leading manufacturing sites for many years, this scheme will allow us to expand the life of our existing 24kWh product therefore reducing the need to use additional resources to produce new batteries."
