EV dependence on discarded batteries.

In a bid to reverse the effects of climate change, many nations worldwide are now making significant strides towards accomplishing their goals. India has also committed to achieving the goal of ‘Net Zero’ carbon emissions by 2070. To achieve that, the country is placing a greater emphasis on adopting lifestyle changes that promote sustainability, transitioning to renewable energy sources and rapidly electrifying its transportation system.

One of the leading innovations on this front is the lithium-ion battery that can store energy for extended periods for various applications, including stationary energy storage from renewable sources such as solar and wind and electrifying the entire transportation industry. The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has driven the Electric Vehicles (EVs) industry to gain significant traction in recent years. EVs have proven to be a promising alternative to conventional internal combustion engines. However, the lithium-ion batteries that are powering the transition away from fossil fuels have their own set of problems, the most prominent of which is the lack of sustainable raw material sourcing and management of discarded batteries.
