The Problem: Rising EV Adoption Presents New Battery Lifecycle Challenges
In 2024, global EV sales reached approximately 17.1 million units, representing a
By 2031, nearly 40 million electric, plug-in hybrid, and hybrid vehicles worldwide are anticipated to fall outside of their original warranty coverage3,4. This projection is based on current EV adoption figures and standard industry warranty terms, and underscores a growing risk for EV owners facing battery degradation, reduced capacity, and costly replacement requirements5. As the global EV fleet continues to expand, the demand for technologies that extend battery life, reduce long-term ownership costs, and support a sustainable transition to electric mobility is increasing.
The Solution: Pioneering Next-Generation Technologies to Support Lithium-Ion Battery Longevity
Battery X Rebalancing Technologies' proprietary software and hardware technology aims to address this challenge by extending the lifespan of EV batteries. This innovation is being developed with the aim to enhance the sustainability of electric transportation and the goal to provide EV owners with a more cost-effective, environmentally friendly ownership experience by reducing the need for costly battery replacements.
Battery X Rebalancing Technologies' rebalancing technology, validated by the National Research Council of Canada ("NRC"), focuses on battery cell rebalancing. The NRC validation demonstrated the technology's ability to effectively correct cell imbalances in lithium-ion battery packs, recovering nearly all lost capacity due to cell imbalance. The validation was conducted on battery modules composed of fifteen 72Ah LiFePO₄ cells connected in series. The cells were initially balanced to a uniform state of charge (SOC), with a measured discharge capacity of 71.10Ah. In the validation test, three of the fifteen cells were then artificially imbalanced-one cell was charged to a
These advancements establish Battery X Rebalancing Technologies as a participant in lithium-ion and EV battery solutions, aiming to tackle the critical challenges of capacity degradation of battery packs and expensive replacements. By extending the lifecycle of battery materials within the supply chain, Battery X Rebalancing Technologies aims to support the energy transition and promote a more sustainable future.
Significance of the Nissan Leaf in the Out-of-Warranty Electric Vehicle Market
The Nissan Leaf holds a significant position in the global electric vehicle market. Since its launch in December 2010, the Leaf has sold more than 650,000 units worldwide6, making it one of the most widely adopted electric vehicles to date. In the United States, the Nissan Leaf was the #2 best-selling plug-in EV between 2010 and 2017, with 114,808 units sold during that period7.
Given that the standard EV battery warranty in the U.S. covers at least 8 years or 100,000 miles8, Nissan Leafs sold during that 2010-2017 window will be out of the standard warranty as of 2025. This represents a substantial and growing segment of aging EVs in need of affordable and effective battery rebalancing solutions.
Looking ahead, Battery X Rebalancing Technologies plans to expand its battery rebalancing solutions to address both current and future high-volume electric vehicle models in the out-of-warranty market. The Company aims to support models that are already beyond their original warranty coverage, as well as those approaching the warranty threshold in the coming years. This strategic expansion is intended to position Battery X Rebalancing Technologies to serve a broader base of electric vehicle owners and service providers, supporting battery lifespan extension, improved affordability, and circular economy objectives.
