Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has developed a portable charging device powered by batteries recovered from the Jaguar I-Pace.
Developed in partnership with electric equipment manufacturer Pramac, the Off Grid Battery Energy Storage System (ESS) is claimed to be 85% constructed using electrical hardware from the I-Pace, including components like modules and wiring. The remaining materials are then recycled back into the supply chain.
The device has a capacity of up to 125kWh – enough to power a house for a week, according to JLR – and can be topped up via integrated solar panels. It's rated to discharge at speeds of up to 22kW and is fitted with Type 2 connectors compatible with most EVs.

It's available for commercial hire, but JLR has yet to confirm availability or pricing details.
