Jlr, Allye Energy Partner on 270 Kwh Portable Battery Energy Storage System
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and Allye Energy have agreed to collaborate on a 270 kWh portable battery energy storage system (BESS) built with second-life Range Rover batteries. The system, which is set to become the first commercially available BESS with JLR battery packs, can fully charge up to nine Range Rover PHEV vehicles at once.

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and Allye Energy have partnered to develop a 270 kWh portable battery energy storage system using second-life Range Rover batteries. Each unit holds seven battery packs, can fully charge nine Range Rover PHEV vehicles, and can be used for off-grid power or stationary energy storage. JLR's engineering team will use the new BESS during testing of the new Range Rover Electric, and it will become commercially available afterward. JLR is investing GBP 15 billion in electrification and renewable energy, aiming to generate 25% of its UK electricity from renewables by 2024.
