Summary
BC startup Moment Energy has opened what it claims is the world's largest EV battery repurposing plant in Surrey, Canada. The facility will transform 25,000 disused electric vehicle batteries annually into grid-scale energy storage systems. The plant was built rapidly — announced at Web Summit Vancouver in early May and opened just six weeks later. The company was founded by four co-founders who started in a garage six years ago, and the project represents a homecoming for them. The initiative positions itself as part of Canada's broader push to build a clean-energy manufacturing base, creating jobs while addressing grid modernization through repurposed battery technology.
