Safe, Affordable Collection for
End-of-Life EV Batteries
The reverse logistics network that makes small-volume battery collection economically viable for the first time.
- Every battery tracked and accounted for, deposit to recycler
- Dramatically lower costs via shared Milk Run routes
- Full chain of custody from swap station to recycler
Three critical problems blocking battery circularity
Dead batteries pile up at swap stations. OEMs can't afford collection. Recyclers can't get feedstock. Batteries rot. Everyone loses.
Fire Risk
Dead batteries stockpile at swap stations. Clients have already experienced fire incidents. No safe storage exists.
Broken Economics
Hazmat trips are expensive and volumes per station are low. Traditional collection costs often exceed the value of the batteries themselves.
No Traceability
Zero visibility from swap station to recycler. No chain of custody. Batteries vanish into informal channels.
Regulatory Pressure
EPR Regulations 2024 mandate producer responsibility for battery end-of-life. OEMs must have a compliant disposal pathway.
The REVLOG reverse logistics network
A shared infrastructure that makes small-volume battery collection economically viable for the first time.
Smart-Bin Storage
Fire-retardant containers deployed on-site at swap stations. Every battery accounted for from the moment it arrives.
Shared Milk Run Routes
Shared Milk Run routes serving multiple OEMs in one loop. Economics that finally work for small volumes.

Fire-retardant storage, deployed where batteries die
Purpose-built containers that turn every swap station into a safe, tracked collection point.
- Fire-retardant casing rated for lithium-ion thermal events. Batteries secured the moment they arrive.
- Designed for 2-wheeler and 3-wheeler battery form factors. Modular trays adapt to different sizes.
- Deployed on-site at OEM swap stations in under 30 minutes. No construction, no permits, just drop and go.
Smart-Bin storage that eliminates fire risk on day one
- Fire-retardant containers with real-time tracking. Every battery accounted for from deposit to recycler.
- Batteries secured the moment they die. Deployed on-site at OEM swap stations, ready in minutes.
- QR-coded bins with real-time tracking. Every battery accounted for from the moment it enters.

Milk Run collection that dramatically cuts costs
- Shared routes serving multiple OEMs in one loop. Economics that finally work for small volumes.
- Driver scans QR, swaps full bin for empty. 5-10 minutes per stop. No loose battery handling.
- Aggregated billing across OEMs. One network, shared infrastructure, dramatically lower unit costs.
| Stop | Area | Bins | ETA | Status | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EV-Swap Westlands | Westlands | 2 | 08:00 | completed | KES 1,134 |
| EV-Swap Kilimani | Kilimani | 1 | 08:35 | completed | KES 567 |
| EV-Swap Industrial | Industrial Area | 3 | 09:15 | loading | — |
| EV-Swap Karen | Karen | 1 | 10:00 | pending | — |
| Recycler - Athi River | Athi River | 0 | 11:00 | pending | — |
Example: Milk Run dispatch — stops + bins + ETA + cost savings in one view
Digital tracking with full chain of custody
- Every pickup logged. Every handover verified on blockchain. Full visibility from station to recycler.
- Recycler receives, signs digitally. Compliance certificate auto-generated. NEMA-ready documentation.
- OEM dashboard and recycler portal with real-time status. Battery passport system ready for Phase 2.

Got questions? We have answers.
Everything you need to know about how REVLOG works.
REVLOG operates a shared reverse logistics network for end-of-life EV batteries. We deploy fire-retardant Smart-Bins at swap stations, run shared Milk Run collection routes across multiple OEMs, and provide full chain of custody from deposit to recycler, with every event hashed on blockchain for tamper-proof accountability.
Instead of each OEM running separate hazmat pickups for small volumes, REVLOG aggregates batteries from multiple OEMs into shared collection routes. This dramatically lowers the per-battery cost of collection, making small-volume pickup economically viable for the first time.
We handle lithium-ion batteries from all EV form factors: 2-wheelers (motorcycles), 3-wheelers (tuk-tuks), passenger EVs, commercial vehicles, and EV buses. Our Smart-Bins and routes are designed to accommodate different battery sizes and chemistries.
Kenya's EPR Regulations 2024 require producers to take responsibility for battery end-of-life. REVLOG auto-generates compliance certificates, provides NEMA-ready documentation, and maintains complete audit trails, so OEMs can meet their obligations without building their own collection infrastructure.
Yes. Every pickup, handover, and delivery event is hashed on blockchain for tamper-proof verification. OEMs and regulators can trace any battery from the moment it enters a Smart-Bin to the moment it reaches the recycler, with cryptographic proof at each step.
We are currently piloting in Nairobi, Kenya, with plans to expand across East Africa. Our model is designed to scale to any market where EV battery swap stations are creating end-of-life battery volumes that need safe, affordable collection.
