Big Problem of Recycling Lithium-Ion Batteries

The automotive world is changing rapidly. According to forecasts, by 2030, 23 million people in the world will become happy owners of electric cars. General Motors has announced plans to stop selling gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035. Audi's goal is to close their production by 2033, and many other major automotive companies are following suit. By 2040, two-thirds of global passenger car sales will be electric vehicles, according to Bloomberg NEF. While this may seem like the ideal path, there is one big problem. Currently, electric vehicles and powerful batteries typically use lithium-ion batteries for energy storage, which are difficult to recycle. As the world seeks to electrify vehicles and store renewable energy, a major question looms: what will happen to all the old lithium batteries? By 2040, 5,750,000 tons of these will be decommissioned. This sets the task of improving technologies and increasing the capacity for recycling batteries that have exhausted their resource. After all, if the current trends in the handling of used batteries continue, most of them may end up in landfills, with all the ensuing problems for the environment. #inventions #technology #tesla #battery #lithium If you are the author of the materials or the copyright owner of it, but your authorship was not indicated or you object to its use, please contact me: titosaleksyt@gmail.com Don’t miss next videos: Press the little bell ((🔔)) to get notifications Production Music courtesy..

As usual, the people with tailpipe fetishes, only checked there for emissions, and pronounced part of the equation better than the whole thing.

ICE vehicles are commonly refurbished or recycled. When they are done making emissions, what is left is repurposed (as in salvage parts) or recycled. Any subsequent emissions come from that process, but should be credited to existing vehicles or the new ones made from the salvaged metals.

The wells are plugged and abandoned, the locations reclaimed.

But lithium batteries are another story, and the disposal of them, not to mention the creation thereof, is seldom factored into the balance sheet of the Green New Deal.

Centuries from now, if Jesus hasn't returned, and humans still have some sense of history, this will be looked back on as the Era of Madness.

If humans get over it, that is, with Lithium imbalances and all...

I read somewhere recently that if humans had discovered electric vehicles first and, after 100 years of using them, if someone invented ICE vehicles, it would have been proclaimed a miracle invention and not another EV would have ever been manufactured.

Actually, electric vehicles were invented at about the same time as ICE vehicles: GM's Delco battery division is what remains of an electric car company that was in production at the turn of the 20th century.  Of course, they died out since with only lead-acid batteries to run them they were not really competitive with ICE vehicles.

I'd wager that once you got out of the larger towns and into the hinterlands, they had the same problems finding a place to charge. Rural electrification didn't really finish up until the 50s and 60s in some places.
