Smartville Inc., an EV battery-repurposing innovator, has been contracted to install a 500 kilowatt-hour battery energy storage system (BESS) at the Nissan North America headquarters in Franklin, Tennessee using second-life Nissan LEAF electric vehicle battery packs.
Smartville will install two of its Smartville 360™ BESS units populated with battery packs supplied by Nissan 4R Energy U.S.
The Smartville 360 BESS is a first-to-market turnkey system for repurposing EV battery packs from multiple automakers and vehicles, allowing customers like Nissan to lower energy bills using a domestic and sustainable supply of retired batteries. Smartville 360 provides critical safety, proprietary controls, and data processing systems that enable repurposed EV battery packs to cost-effectively achieve a long second-life as stationary energy storage. The Smartville 360 building-block design is configurable for commercial, industrial, and utility-scale applications.
The Smartville 360 is expected to be installed and operational at Nissan’s North American Tennessee headquarters by the second quarter of 2024.
