FreeWire Technologies is an energy storage company that transforms second-life electric vehicle batteries into intelligent, mobile energy storage systems. The company addresses various needs in the distributed energy market such as mobile power and battery support for electric vehicle charging. FreeWire offers two product lines: the first product line – the Mobi Charger – provides alternatively level 2 or level 3 fast charging avoiding costly infrastructure upgrades. The second product line – the Mobi Gen – provides mobile, connected, quiet power replacing diesel generators. FreeWire’s Mobis are built using second-life lithium ion batteries, sourced from a variety of the world’s largest auto manufacturers and utility-scale battery storage providers. These batteries have been removed from their original service for numerous reasons, such as original use in test vehicles and end-of-life vehicles, decreased state of charge, and limited power availability. However, once they are no longer useful in original applications, many of the batteries still have 70-80% capacity for secondary uses. Although there are several pilots and demonstrations projects ongoing, FreeWire has built the first feasible, commercial application for second-life batteries.
