Lithium-ion batteries being introduced into battery electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and future electrification technologies (BEV, PHEV) have a different chemistry, and thus different recycling and repurposing processes compared to traditional car batteries. They are much lighter than other types of rechargeable batteries of the same size, lose only approximately three percent of their charge per month, and can be recharged and discharged thousands of times. For these reasons, they are currently the preferred battery electrical energy storage system for vehicle applications.
FCA US LLC is committed to going green -- using electrification technologies in an increasing number of upcoming vehicles, and making it easy for customers to recycle or repurpose their lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries can currently be found in the FIAT® 500e (BEV) and the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid (PHEV).
Please do your part to protect the planet by recycling or repurposing your lithium-ion battery. For more information about eligibility, contact a dealer.
