Project REVIVE
Project REVIVE has been formed in partnership with Lohum and The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) to give a second life to repurpose used EV batteries to build energy solutions and reduce the carbon footprint.

A pilot project has already been conducted at a school near Dehradun.

Besides creating awareness through interactive videos and live demonstrations, it also has nifty features such a cost-of-ownership calculator, a repository of government policies as well as a collection of research papers and publications on the subject. The site also has an AI-powered bot called “e-Vir” to help with information.
