Autocraft’s REVIVE® EV Battery Workshops Win Green Award at Automechanika Frankfurt 2026 Innovation Awards

Autocraft Solutions Group’s REVIVE EV Battery Workshops have won the Green Award at the Automechanika Frankfurt Innovation Awards 2026. The company announced the news on September 10, 2026. It was also named Runner-Up in the Circular Economy & Remanufacturing category.

The awards were presented at Automechanika Frankfurt after an international panel evaluated 185 entries from the global automotive aftermarket. The recognition highlights Autocraft’s approach to extending the useful life of high-voltage EV batteries through repair and reconditioning rather than unnecessary replacement.

REVIVE is designed to keep more EV batteries in service for longer, reducing waste and conserving valuable battery materials. Autocraft says the solution helps OEMs, fleets and vehicle owners recover more value from existing batteries while reducing environmental impacts.

The Green Award recognizes REVIVE’s focus on battery repair and reconditioning and its potential to conserve resources and reduce emissions as EV adoption expands.

Mike Hague-Morgan, Executive Director and Co-Owner of Autocraft Solutions Group, said the awards reflect the expertise and commitment of the company’s employees and the work being done to develop sustainable EV battery solutions.

Autocraft has continued expanding its focus on battery circularity as demand for EV battery repair grows. The company’s approach is based on diagnosing and repairing battery issues at the component and pack level, potentially allowing batteries to remain in service instead of being replaced.

The recognition at Automechanika Frankfurt adds industry validation to Autocraft’s efforts to develop scalable EV battery repair and remanufacturing solutions. The company says it remains focused on technical innovation, sustainability and supporting a more circular electric vehicle industry.

New Report From Autocraft Ev Solutions Makes Data-Informed Case for EV Battery Repair

A new report from Autocraft EV Solutions is challenging the assumption that EV battery problems require complete battery replacement. The company’s report, “Closing the EV Confidence Gap: The Role of Battery Remanufacturing,” combines in-warranty repair data with findings from the RECOVAS project to examine the environmental and practical benefits of repairing EV batteries.

Autocraft analyzed 559 commercial battery repairs completed in 2024. The data found that, on average, just 1.1 modules needed replacement to restore a battery pack to more than 90% of its original state of health. The company says repairing an 82.5 kWh battery instead of replacing and recycling it can prevent 12 tonnes of avoidable carbon emissions, representing a 93% reduction in CO₂.

The report also found that 92% of modules in batteries classified as failed remained suitable for automotive reuse. Rather than prematurely recycling usable components, targeted diagnosis can identify the failed components and restore the battery.

Autocraft argues that battery repair should become standard practice for in-warranty failures, functional cells and modules should be reused whenever possible, and future EV batteries should be designed with repairability in mind. Its OptEVizer technology provides cell-level state-of-health testing, while its REVIVE system supports battery repair and remanufacturing.

The findings address an important concern surrounding EV adoption: battery longevity and replacement costs. By demonstrating that many battery faults can be addressed without replacing an entire pack, battery repair could reduce waste, conserve materials and improve confidence in long-term EV ownership.
