IK4-Ikerlan ‘Batteries 2020’ izeneko proiektu europarraren buru da. Egitasmo honen helburua nagusia bateriak berrerabiltzea da, automobilgintzarako erabilgarriak ez diren unetik aurrera energia berriztagarrien pilatzaile moduan erabiltzeko, hain justu ere. Proiektua aitzindaria da esparru honetan, eta edukiera handiagoa duten auto elektrikoentzako bateriak garatzea ere bilatzen du, biziraupen handiagoarekin eta fidagarriagoak direnak.
