GM teams up with Redwood Materials to power data centers with EV batteries

GM sends new and old home batteries to re-producer materials, then the two companies are repeating packages for a stationary energy warehouse today.

The second life batteries from GM have already made a 12 megroid microgrid in the process of Redwood and the company’s sparks, Nevada and headquarters. After this installation, electricity flows to 2000 GPU data center near Crusoe.

Microgrid is part of Redwood New Energy Storage Department In June, the public was announced and stops waste home batteries for electricity for electricity. By testing, the company also saw many of the cells that came to their facilities live a good life in them.

Instead of reusing the built-in materials, company packages have kept the packages as a whole, then it is often connected to create a large power storage system that can store electricity, which is often created by the sun and wind. Batteries for the Crusoe Project are fed with solar panels.

“I think it’s potential to grow faster than business work,” said REDWOOD co-founder and CEO JB Straubel, then said. Redwood restores 70% of all used or thrown batteries in the United States.

Redwood, not the only company that follows this gamebook, but also various packages – although the ability to combine various manufacturers and kids, can give an edge over opponents.

Both GM and Redwood have an existing agreement, but the new collaboration is the expander.

Inattentive detail: The desire to supply the GM with new batteries is not only the old ones, hedges against uneven growth in home sales. In the second quarter of this year, new sales are less than 6.3%. according to Cox is expected to increase tax credits before the stage on September 30.

On the other hand has been an energy storage to grow in a row In recent years. In the first quarter of this year, new devices have hit a new record, and more than 57% have passed.
