GM and ABB Demonstrate Battery Re-Use Applications

摘要

Earlier this year, General Motors signed a definitive agreement with ABB Group to identify joint research and development projects that would reuse Chevrolet Volt battery systems, which will have up to 70 percent of life remaining after their automotive use is exhausted. Recent research conducted by GM predicts that secondary use of 33 volt batteries will have enough storage capacity to power up to 50 homes for about four hours during a power outage.
