From Melbourne, Victoria
Where a Euler Motors HiLoad EV pack goes from Melbourne, Victoria
- 1
Intake at Melbourne, Victoria
Packs are palletised in small groups inside UN-rated boxes, with dividers between units. Each pack is weighed, photographed and discharged below 30% state of charge.
- 2
Graded at Tuas, Singapore
Modules travel 6,072 km to Singapore — Tuas Diagnostics Hub for capacity, resistance and impedance testing across all 6 modules.
- 3
Second life at Gothenburg, Sweden
At 80% SOH about 56% of the pack qualifies for reuse and goes to Gothenburg — Nordic Second-Life Campus (15,980 km). Excellent — long calendar life makes LFP the preferred feedstock for stationary BESS repurposing.
- 4
Refined at Ningde, Fujian
Remaining modules are shredded to black mass and refined at Ningde — Fujian Refining Base, 7,644 km away.
| Stage | Facility | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Nearest grading bench | Singapore — Tuas Diagnostics Hub | 6,072 km |
| Nearest second-life works | Gothenburg — Nordic Second-Life Campus | 15,980 km |
| Nearest refinery | Ningde — Fujian Refining Base | 7,644 km |

Inside the Euler Motors HiLoad EV battery
The Euler Motors HiLoad EV (2022) carries a 12.4 kWh LFP Prismatic (LiFePO4) pack with 6 modules at 96 V, weighing roughly 92 kg. Cobalt-free prismatic chemistry dominant in Indian passenger EVs and commercial fleets. Low black mass value, exceptional second-life economics.
| Service year | SOH | Grade | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 2 | 95.5% | A — BESS ready | USD 646 |
| Year 4 | 92.4% | A — BESS ready | USD 625 |
| Year 6 | 89.3% | A — BESS ready | USD 605 |
| Year 8 | 86.2% | A — BESS ready | USD 575 |
| Year 10 | 83.1% | B — Second life | USD 482 |
What the chemistry means here
How it ages
LFP fades slowly and fairly linearly for most of its life. Capacity loss is driven mainly by lithium inventory being locked up in the SEI layer on the graphite anode, while the cathode structure stays largely intact.
Thermal behaviour
LFP's olivine cathode holds its oxygen tightly, so thermal runaway typically starts at higher temperatures than nickel-rich cells and releases noticeably less heat. It is not inert: a failing LFP cell still vents flammable electrolyte vapour and hydrogen, and large prismatic cans store a lot of energy in one place.
Handling LFP Prismatic
Collecting a Euler Motors HiLoad EV pack
12.4 kWh, 6 modules, about 92 kg — this is how the Melbourne, Victoria team plans the job.
Removal
Packs are removed from the under-seat or rear bay; high-cycle fleet packs are checked for water ingress first.
Packaging
Packs are palletised in small groups inside UN-rated boxes, with dividers between units.
Consolidation
Fleet depots and dealer service points are scheduled as recurring milk runs rather than one-off pickups.
Before the truck arrives
- Check for corrosion and water ingress in the pack bay
- Flag any aftermarket or repaired packs on the manifest
- Tape terminals and remove quick-connect plugs
- Group packs by chemistry before collection
Melbourne, Victoria site notes
- Declare chemistry and state of charge at booking.
- Storage installers can book collections.
- Damaged units require special handling.
- Consolidated loads reduce transport cost.
