EV Battery Solutions: Repair, Reman, Recycle (Photos)

Green FleetPhotos 23September 11, 2024

EV Battery Solutions by Cox Automotive’s battery center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, repairs, remanufactures, and recycles electric vehicle (EV) batteries. 

The team of engineers and technicians specializes in root cause analysis, recalls, and remanufacturing and has played a key part in dealing with EV batteries that have been recalled. A lot of diagnostic work goes into these battery packs before engineers can even open them.

Through recycling, the location also has produced more than a million pounds of black mass, a valuable product of EV battery recycling.
