“ But this new cohort of recyclers doesn’t have to wait for electric vehicles to hit critical mass. They’ve got plenty to hone their techniques on with existing consumer electronics waste, plus the scrap from new battery manufacturing. ”
Sounds like they’re starting now because they need time to get things efficient enough for the day when EV recycling starts to be needed en mass?
- Scoundreller 4y agoI’m assuming they’ll be put in fixed applications where weight and max efficiency/charge aren’t critical, unless they’re already damaged. Pumped storage is economically viable at 70-80% efficient at each cycle after a big capital investment. It won’t be EV battery recycling but just battery recycling.
