Summary
Moment Energy, a Metro Vancouver company, is building a mega factory in Surrey to repurpose used electric vehicle (EV) batteries into energy storage systems. The facility aims to address the growing challenge of EV battery waste by giving batteries a second life for grid storage and commercial energy needs, rather than recycling them immediately. CEO Edward Chiang emphasizes this is about building infrastructure for the next generation of energy demand. The factory represents a significant investment in clean technology and the circular economy within British Columbia's growing cleantech sector.
