I have 2 EV's one is needing a new battery pack after 329000 miles! That is out of a 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. The pack is now down to 50% but that is still a useable 6+KWh and 325 volts. The 2nd EV battery pack is currently in my MG5 EV a 52.5KWh pack. This is now down (after 125000 miles) to 90%, so still very useable, however I can buy a 61.5Kwh pack for around £4000 to upgrade my MG5 and increase its range by over 70 miles.
My inverter can handle voltages of up to 500 volts so is good with both sizes of pack.
My question is is anyone making a plug in unit that allows the complete pack to think it is still in a car so allowing the pack to charge and discharge normally?
Obviously the need to provide up to 160 of KW output is not going to be required so cooling the packs is not needed. The max my inverter can handle is 5KWh.
I need the packs BMS to operate as normal of course.
Anyone know of anyone working on this type of system?
