In a significant move towards sustainable transportation, TERREPOWER, recognized as the world's largest sustainable manufacturer by volume, has introduced its latest initiative: Ontility. This new brand focuses on comprehensive battery life cycle solutions specifically designed for electric vehicles (EVs) in North America and Europe. With the increasing adoption of EVs and the growing scrutiny on battery management, this launch marks a pivotal step in enhancing battery efficiency and sustainability.
The Need for Innovative Solutions
The automotive industry is undergoing a transformation, with electric vehicles rising in popularity. North America and Europe are at the forefront of this transition. In fact, North America is experiencing significant growth in EV adoption along with a robust domestic battery manufacturing environment and regulations that encourage battery reuse over the extraction of virgin materials. Similarly, Europe reports that battery electric vehicle sales soared by 38% year-on-year in the first half of 2025, driving a surge in demand for effective battery management solutions.
Given these trends, TERREPOWER's Ontility aims to maximize the value of EV batteries by offering validated reusability, remanufacturing, repurposing, and recycling solutions. The intent is to create a circular economy around battery resources, enabling longer battery life, and supporting environmental sustainability, all while maintaining vehicle performance.
Emphasizing Sustainability and Circular Economy
Duncan Gillis, CEO of TERREPOWER, emphasized the importance of maintaining and prolonging battery life as essential components of EV adoption: "Supporting customers in North America and Europe with proven battery life cycle solutions is crucial in establishing TERREPOWER's leadership in sustainable manufacturing. As millions of EVs begin to age, the automotive industry needs trusted partners who can restore, validate, and extend this crucial asset's value on a large scale."
This focus on sustainability aligns with global challenges facing the EV battery market, particularly concerns over wastage and the critical need to extend the usable life of these components. By prioritizing battery maintenance and refurbishment, Ontility’s mission is clear: preserve battery value and promote a more circular approach to vehicle electrification.
Benefits of Ontility’s Solutions

The Future of Battery Management
As battery technologies advance and markets evolve, the demand for comprehensive battery life cycle solutions is expected to escalate globally. Gillis points out that, "The test for the industry is not merely producing more batteries but maximizing the value of existing batteries throughout their life cycle. Leading this sector is vital for making electric mobility more affordable and sustainable."
With operations spanning across 90 countries, TERREPOWER is ideally positioned to address the entire battery life cycle, from recovery and testing to remanufacturing, second-life applications, and material recovery. The Ontility initiative underscores TERREPOWER's commitment to supporting Europe's circular economy goals and adapting to evolving battery regulations.
Conclusion
The launch of Ontility coincides with the ongoing peak in electric vehicle adoption, increasing the need for efficient battery solutions in the aftermarket and fleet management. Ontility stands to assist vehicle owners, installers, fleets, OEMs, and scrap operators in maximizing battery value, fostering a mindset towards seeing batteries as assets rather than waste.
