French startup Gouach claims to have developed the world’s first mass-produced e-bike with replaceable and repairable lithium-ion batteries that can be fully repaired in less than 10 minutes.
Batteries on the market today can simply be recycled by simply replacing all the battery cells inside the battery compartment and spot welding all new batteries together in the same configuration, rather than trying to replace a single faulty battery, which results in about 80% of The battery was scrapped prematurely.
The current “melting” or “shredding” form of recycling can only recover 50%-70% of battery raw materials respectively, which is obviously not the best way to deal with it. And Gouach launched a more ideal battery recycling program. The company claims that the innovative battery developed by itself has been patented for spot welding technology and intelligent battery management system BMS. Once a battery failure is identified, it can be safely replaced within 10 minutes with just a screwdriver.
Gouach said that for safety reasons, only the Gouach technical team is allowed to carry out battery repairs, and the next step will be to establish a repair network.
