Maturity stage TRL 9 / CRI 2 - Commercial Trial Small Scale

Non-replaceable batteries are bad news for the environment and consumers. Most batteries in today’s products cannot be easily removed, replaced, or repaired. 80% of cells in a classical lithium-ion battery found in the trash are functional. The global demand capacity for batteries is projected to increase in the next decade: up to 60% for batteries in consumer electronics and 15% for LEV (Light electric vehicles) by 2030. Gouach is producing in France a battery for LEV that is repairable in less than 10 minutes, as reliable and powerful as the market leaders, but eco-friendly. The solution uses a solder-less design so that the battery electronics and cells can be changed easily, with no risk and without damage to the cells. This allows for an increase in the battery longevity and a substantial reduction of the battery's CO2 footprint. Gouach aims at providing a sustainable, repairable, and eco-friendly battery for fleet sharing, delivery fleet, and electric vehicles manufacturers

The Environmental Benefits

  • 80% of cells in a classical lithium ion battery found in the trash are functional
  • Consumes 2,5 times less water than a regular battery
  • Emits 2,5 times less fine particles than a regular battery
  • A deployment of 10,000 Gouach batteries could prevent 20 TCO2eq of emissions

The Financial Benefits

  • Repairing a Gouach battery costs 5-10€, compared to 200€ when replacing complete battery
  • The total cost of ownership TCO is reduced by 50%
