In recent years the lithium batteries they have spread in enormous quantities on a series of devices and means of transport and it is rightly thought that using energy stored in a battery is more ecological than using fossil fuels in internal combustion engines; sadly though, the battery manufacturing processes are still very impacting on the environment and it is therefore important to design batteries that can be open And repair in case of need, as it is trying to do gouach.
The French company, specialized in the production of batteries for electric means of transport such as e-bikes or the scooterdecided to base its entire mission on sustainability of its batteries: the battery is the most expensive element on any electric vehicle and it is important not only to preserve it, but also to design it in such a way as to make the battery recyclable once it reaches the end of its life on a means of transport. Nowadays very often when a battery malfunctions it is forced to change it entirely, even if the problem may be in a control board or in a single cell.
Gouach’s design was conceived precisely to eliminate this problem: instead of creating a design that minimizes production costs without allowing repairs, Gouach chose a more virtuous path and designed a easy to open battery and with few components, so as to make a possible repair easier, but also the recycling process.
According to Gouach his batteries can be opened and repaired easily in approx 10 minutesan incredible result when you consider that it can normally take days, if not weeks, to get a new battery that meets the specifications we need.
Gouach currently offers a range of 420, 430, 540 and 560Wh batteries, all of which are simple to open and repair should the need arise, and the company’s goal is to bring the technology to commercial ride-sharing environments.
