OKQ8 and the Swedish energy technology company Rebaba have entered into a new partnership that strengthens OKQ8’s charging infrastructure and its offering of energy solutions to business customers. The collaboration enables large scale use of so called second life batteries, high quality electric vehicle batteries that are recovered when vehicles are taken out of operation and given a new life in stationary energy storage. Today, approximately 98 percent of all electric vehicle batteries retain more than 80 percent of their original capacity when the vehicle is decommissioned. Rebaba is now a selected supplier of battery energy storage systems for both OKQ8’s own sites and OKQ8’s business customers, including property owners, depots, and energy producers. Battery storage makes power available when it is needed most, reduces peak loads, and optimizes energy systems. For charging infrastructure, this enables more stable and faster charging under high load, allowing more fast chargers to operate simultaneously and reducing queues during periods of high demand. For business customers, the solution enables buying, storing, and selling electricity. The batteries can be used as standalone systems or integrated with solar installations and buildings to increase self consumption, strengthen power capacity, and reduce energy costs. Rebaba’s technology enables battery level traceability with clear documentation of origin, usage data, and handling, meeting high requirements for transpare
