Actrify wants to extend the life of electric vehicle batteries

Start-up Swedish Actrify wants to double the lifespan of electric vehicle batteries. But don't like the latest trend in the industry: the "cell-to-pack" concept.
"We have developed models for how to build batteries as modularly as possible so that you can easily replace parts to extend their life and make it more durable. It's not just about how to build from scratch, but also about what to do with the batteries that come back. Not all of them need to be sent for recycling immediately, but can have a second life elsewhere," says Mattias Näslund.
The company works with everything from charging, electrification and battery technology, all the way from cell, module and battery pack, to recycling where the raw material is used in new batteries. Basically, it's about maximizing the life of batteries – whether they're in a vehicle, a heavy machine or in a property.
"Today, cells are glued, which makes it difficult to remove individual parts. There you can do a lot differently. Some components have a shorter lifespan than others, and if you can replace them, you get a longer lifespan for the whole," says Näslund.
The trick is to build in modules and make sure that each individual part can be easily replaced. Here it is about ensuring already in the design phase that parts can be replaced without having to replace the entire battery, but also having an idea of ​​where that part can be used next.
According to them, Actrify's solution can more than double the lifespan of electric car batteries. In addition, with good finances for both the person renovating the battery and the car owner. The company expects a price that is between 50 and 75 percent lower than replacing the entire battery.

                              @Actrify focus on extending the life of electric vehicle (EV) batteries is commendable and holds great potential. Prolonging the lifespan of batteries can have significant environmental and economic impacts. By reducing the need for frequent battery replacements, Actrify's technology can help minimize waste and conserve valuable resources. This could also make EVs more accessible and affordable for a wider range of consumers. Efforts like these are crucial for the sustainable growth of the electric vehicle industry and the transition towards a cleaner transportation sector.
