The Myth of Electric Vehicle Battery Recycling
The notion that electric vehicles are problematic due to challenges in battery recycling is a misconception. This myth persists mainly because past demand for battery materials was low, leading to a lack of serious efforts in recycling. However, the current surge in demand has resulted in significant investments, amounting to billions of dollars, directed towards developing effective recycling solutions. The trend demonstrates that issues perceived as significant barriers can often be resolved swiftly once adequate attention and resources are allocated. Additionally, while there's a growing recognition of the need to reduce dependence on foreign sources of lithium and other battery materials, it remains clear that the U.S. is currently not equipped to meet the entire demand for EV batteries on its own.
