The CO2 footprint of e-bikes could be reduced with a repairable electric battery that doesn’t use solder.
Batteries that can’t be changed are bad for the environment and for consumers. Most batteries in products made today are hard to take out, replace, or fix. A classic lithium-ion battery found in the trash has about 80% of its cells that still work. In the next ten years, the world’s demand for batteries is expected to rise by up to 60% for batteries used in consumer electronics and 15% for LEVs (light electric vehicles). Gouach makes an LEV battery in France that can be fixed in less than 10 minutes, is as reliable and powerful as the market leaders, and is better for the environment. The solution doesn’t use solder, so the electronics and cells of the battery can be changed easily and without risk or damage to the cells. This makes it possible for the battery to last longer and for its CO2 footprint to be much smaller. Gouach wants to make a battery that is long-lasting, easy to fix, and good for the environment for fleet sharing, delivery fleets, and electric vehicle manufacturers.
