A second lease of life for Swiss Post scooter batteries

First mobile, then stationary

After their initial use, batteries from electric scooters have not yet necessarily outlived their usefulness. The pilot project “A second lease of life for Swiss Post scooter batteries” is examining how they can be used for stationary energy storage – such as storing solar power directly on-site. After seven years of use by Swiss Post, the batteries have a storage capacity of 80 percent, which can still be made use of. A pilot storage unit is currently installed at the Umwelt Arena in Spreitenbach, with another to follow in the post office building at Neuchâtel train station.
