EV owners can deposit vehicle batteries that have reached their end of life at any charging point or swapping station landfills and in return get a remunerative price for the battery.
A nodal agency will be appointed to act as an aggregator to purchase EV batteries that are at least 70% of rated capacity. These batteries will be purchased from the charging points and battery swapping stations and will then be re-used as
‘power banks’ to store renewable energy. Batteries procured in such manner will be auctioned to renewable generators within and outside Assam.
