Do you believe repairing electric vehicle batteries is a more sustainable solution than recycling them?
Autocraft Solutions Group has announced plans to expand its electric vehicle battery remanufacturing network across Europe. The company currently operates facilities in the UK and the Netherlands that restore used battery packs to over 90% of their original performance.
Why it matters
As a growing number of mass-market EV batteries reach the end of their typical life cycles, professional remanufacturing offers a sustainable way to maintain vehicle performance. This approach significantly reduces the carbon footprint of battery replacements by avoiding the need for new units.
Autocraft currently processes 300-400 battery packs per month using their REVIVE system. Repairing an 82.5kWh battery pack avoids approximately 12 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions compared to manufacturing a new one.
The players
Autocraft Solutions Group
An automotive technology company specializing in battery triage and remanufacturing for electric vehicles.
The details
The process uses the OptEVizer platform to stress-test battery packs, comparing results against a digital twin to pinpoint weakened cells or modules. Once identified, defective components are replaced, allowing restored packs to achieve more than 90% of their original capacity. Autocraft manages the logistics through battery triage and specialized vehicle collection services to streamline the repair process for owners.

The Home Front
The push to expand remanufacturing networks aligns with broader industry efforts to manage the life cycle of electric vehicle batteries. This shift suggests a future where battery repair, rather than complete replacement, becomes a standard part of long-term EV ownership.
If you own an electric vehicle, check your manufacturer's warranty terms regarding battery health and professional repair options. As repair networks grow, consult with your service center about whether battery module replacement is a viable alternative to a full pack swap when performance degrades.
The takeaway
Professional battery remanufacturing offers a sustainable way to maintain your electric vehicle's range without needing a complete new battery. Keep documentation on your vehicle's current battery performance to discuss repair options with a licensed technician as your warranty period nears its end.
