Redwood Materials’ Cal Lankton Gives Old EV Batteries New Life



Lankton, chief commercial officer at Redwood Materials, details why the company just opened its Redwood Energy business unit and how it is repurposing used electric-vehicle batteries in energy storage systems

He discusses Redwood’s first major project, a system that utilizes more than 700 used EV battery packs that’s already the largest microgrid in North America. That system powers an AI data center at a Redwood facility in Sparks, Nevada. 

Further, Lankton explains the economics behind repurposing, and how it fits alongside Redwood’s traditional recycling business.
