Second Life Battery Storage
Škoda gives used electric-car batteries a second job. Modules that once powered Enyaq test and development cars are tested, packed into a white container and wired up as stationary energy storage. In a pilot with Prague utility Pražská energetika, run at the Chodov swimming-pool car park from October 2022 to June 2024, 48 modules with 300 kWh of capacity topped up a charging hub whose grid link was reserved at only 75 kW. That let it charge up to twelve cars at once, including on a 150 kW fast charger, without laying new cable. The storage charged itself when demand was low and released energy when cars plugged in. In 2024 alone it delivered 15,079 kWh, about 326 Enyaq charges from 20 to 80 percent. In storage the batteries lose only around two percent of capacity a year, so they can serve another 10 to 15 years before controlled recycling. Škoda now applies the same idea at its Mladá Boleslav plant and at dealer charging stations.
