The Problem

Four critical gaps in Africa's battery logistics

New batteries arrive with no safe staging. Dead batteries pile up at swap stations. No one has the infrastructure to store or move them safely. The entire battery supply chain is exposed.

Fire Risk

Batteries - new and used - stockpile in warehouses and swap stations with no fire-safe storage. Incidents have already happened.

Broken Economics

Hazmat transport is expensive and volumes per location are low. No shared infrastructure exists to make battery logistics affordable at scale.

No Traceability

Zero visibility across the battery supply chain. From manufacturer to deployment to end-of-life, batteries move without a verifiable chain of custody.

Regulatory Pressure

EPR Regulations 2024 mandate producer responsibility across the battery lifecycle. OEMs, importers, and operators all need a compliant logistics partner.

Our Solution

The REVLOG battery logistics network

Safe storage and transport infrastructure for EV and energy storage batteries at every stage - new, in-service, and end-of-life.

Smart-Bin Storage

Fire-retardant containers deployed at warehouses, swap stations, and distribution points. Every battery secured and tracked from arrival.

Shared Milk Run Routes

Shared transport routes serving multiple OEMs and operators in one loop. Safe, affordable battery logistics at any volume.

The Smart-Bin
REVLOG Smart-Bin

Fire-retardant storage, deployed where batteries live

Purpose-built containers that turn any location into a safe, tracked battery storage point - for new stock, spares, or end-of-life units.

  • Fire-retardant casing rated for lithium-ion thermal events. Batteries secured the moment they arrive, regardless of condition.
  • Designed for 2-wheeler, 3-wheeler, and energy storage battery form factors. Modular trays adapt to different sizes.
  • Deployed on-site at warehouses, swap stations, and distribution hubs in under 30 minutes. No construction, no permits, just drop and go.

How It Works

Smart-Bin storage that eliminates fire risk on day one

  • Fire-retardant containers with real-time tracking. Every battery accounted for - new, in-service, or end-of-life.
  • Deployed at warehouses, swap stations, and distribution hubs. Ready in minutes, no construction required.
  • QR-coded bins with real-time tracking. Every battery accounted for from the moment it enters.

Milk Run transport that dramatically cuts costs

  • Shared routes serving multiple OEMs and operators in one loop. Safe transport at a fraction of dedicated hazmat costs.
  • Driver scans QR, swaps full bin for empty. 5-10 minutes per stop. No loose battery handling.
  • Aggregated billing across clients. One network, shared infrastructure, dramatically lower unit costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We have answers.

Everything you need to know about how REVLOG works.

REVLOG is the logistics partner for the safe storage and transportation of EV and energy storage batteries - new, in-service, and end-of-life. We deploy fire-retardant Smart-Bins at warehouses, swap stations, and distribution hubs, run shared Milk Run transport routes, and provide full chain of custody across the entire battery lifecycle, with every event hashed on blockchain for tamper-proof accountability.

Instead of each OEM or operator running separate hazmat trips for small volumes, REVLOG aggregates battery storage and transport needs from multiple clients into shared routes. This dramatically lowers the per-battery cost, making safe battery logistics economically viable at any volume.

We handle lithium-ion batteries across the full spectrum: EV batteries (2-wheelers, 3-wheelers, passenger EVs, commercial vehicles, buses) and stationary energy storage systems. Whether it is new inventory arriving from a manufacturer, spare batteries in rotation, or end-of-life units heading to recyclers - our Smart-Bins and routes handle them all.

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 and energy storage batteries need safe, compliant storage and transportation.
