Recycling and reuse of EV Batteries

United States

Depending on the manufacturer and the battery’s usage, after 7-10 years an EV battery will have around 70% of its original capacity remaining.

It would no longer be suitable for powering an EV but the battery would still be suitable for being recycled into a plethora of “secondary” uses.
