A Mercedes-Benz Group AG subsidiary that focuses on electric vehicle battery storage has reached an agreement with a Canadian startup to repurpose partly-spent EV batteries.

Mercedes-Benz Energy will supply used batteries from the automaker’s electric vehicles to Vancouver-based Moment Energy Inc., which will convert them to modules that provide rechargeable power to commercial and industrial buildings.
