British EV Manufacturer Tevva Announces Battery Recycling Partnership With Ecobat

British electric vehicle manufacturer Tevva has entered into a strategic partnership with Ecobat, a global leader in battery recycling, for the repair, repurposing and recycling of its lithium-ion batteries. The partnership kicks off with a 12-month pilot phase for first-life battery management, with the opportunity to expand into additional energy storage and recycling solutions.

Ecobat will ensure Tevva’s in-house assembled lithium-ion batteries are handled, diagnosed and repaired using the most effective and environmentally friendly methods.

Ecobat is the world's largest recycler of batteries.

Tevva’s 7.5t battery-electric truck has recently entered mass production at the company’s London facility.

The Tevva truck offers up to 140 miles (227 kilometres) from its 105 kWh battery on a single charge.

This will be followed by a 7.5t hydrogen-electric truck, which benefits from a hydrogen range-extender that enhances vehicle range to up to 354 miles (570 km).

By engaging global battery experts Ecobat, Tevva says it demonstrates its commitment to providing customers with the best and fastest possible service, while minimising potential impact on the environment.

Tevva Founder and CEO, Asher Bennett, says: “Tevva is committed to providing the best possible customer service while promoting a circular approach to battery management. By agreeing this strategic partnership with Ecobat, a company with proven credentials in minimising waste, honouring resources, and respecting rare earth metals, we are letting our customers know that we’ve got their back in the worst-case scenario, while also being a responsible corporate citizen by preparing for battery end of life.”

“Ecobat is thrilled to partner with a company like Tevva, one that’s committed to efficient, effective and sustainable resource
management, to extend the lifecycle of their lithium-ion batteries,” adds Tom Seward, EU Key Accounts Director at Ecobat. “Working with pioneers like Tevva to support their battery management gives Ecobat the opportunity to expand its lithium-ion recycling footprint and further the circular energy economy.”

Tevva is a hydrogen electric truck company with a spectrum of options for zero-emission medium to heavy-duty trucks.
