From Tsunami-threat to treasure: how spent EV batteries can power the future

With over 100 million electric cars expected to hit the market in the coming years, a tidal wave of spent lithium-ion batteries is set to retire by 2030. Innovative repurposing strategies aim to close the loop and transform this environmental threat into valuable storage capacity. Yet, experts warn: “For a truly circular system, we need a stable regulatory framework and a shift in industry mindset.”
