Electric Car drives : From waste to sustainable…! 500 Electric Cars powered by old batteries
Electric Car drives with Old Batteries News in Marathi : What we mean by ‘disposable to sustainable’ is the eco-friendly idea of creatively repurposing waste materials into useful and decorative items such as plastic bottles, old clothes, cardboard, glass bottles, coconut shavings, tires and ice cream sticks to make showpieces, pots, pen stands, and home organizers. But you might not even think, a man named Chris Dole from the United Kingdom demonstrated the power of an electric car using 500 discarded batteries.
People often throw away old batteries thinking they are useless. But they are so useful that they Electric car can also run and a guy named Chris Dole from the United Kingdom has demonstrated this. This is a unique and effective use of old batteries. Chris collected not just one or two, but 500 old electronic batteries and drove a small electric car on the road. Chris’s feat proves how useful things we discard as trash can be. Chris has uploaded a full video of his project to his YouTube channel.

500 used old batteries
Chris collected approximately 500 old batteries that were thrown into the trash. People often throw them away after use, but the lithium batteries in them still have plenty of power left. Chris carefully tested each battery cell to make sure it was working. He then combined working batteries to form a large battery pack. This is what he used to power electric cars.
Which car gave electricity?
Chris drives a small electric car called the Reva G-Wiz with this battery pack. In India, this car was known as Reva. It is a small and light electric car that weighs approximately 400 kilograms without batteries. It is powered by a small 17-horsepower motor, which can reach a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour.
Battery design and capacity
500 old electric batteries were divided into 14 sections. The entire system generates approximately 50 volts of electricity. The capacity of this battery pack is approximately 2.1 kWh. Before installing it in the car, Chris used these batteries to power his workshop lights and equipment.
Safety considerations
With these old batteries, safety was a major challenge. Chris has taken great care. A special management system was installed to monitor the voltage and temperature of each cell. A small alarm chime sounds if the battery overheats. To reduce the risk of short circuits and fires, Chris used fuses and special tape in each section.
Excellent performance during testing
The car performed very well during the road test. The car ran at a speed of 50-55 kmph without any problem, which is quite impressive. The car required more current on the climb, but braking on the downhill recharged the battery. This is due to regenerative braking. The car covers around 30 kilometers on a single charge and best of all, it can be charged using a USB-C laptop charger. Although this car is not meant for long distances, it is a good choice for short errands in the city.
