The battery recycling company also worked with dismantlers to collect and recycle lithium ion and nickel metal hydride (NiMH) from EOL vehicle batteries. “The The packs we collected were a mix of older NiMH and newer lithium-ion chemistries from more than a dozen different automakers.

Hybrids move the most cars—the Toyota Prius is the best-selling car in Japan and California—but their small battery packs mean they require less energy storage in total than full electric vehicles like the Nissan Leaf. Lithium-ion extends its lead, but NiMH sticks around. Lithium-ion batteries captured 68% of the 1.4

Leveraging some 20 years of experience and data reaching back to its early work with hybrids and the Ranger EV, Ford has developed a battery model and life validation protocol it now uses to predict how lithium-ion batteries are likely to perform under 10 years and 150,000 miles of use (40-season equivalent key life tests).

The cost of lithium ion batteries…needs to be reduced significantly…or a more affordable alternative developed. Since the early 90’s, during the early stages of first-generation Prius development, Toyota has been committed to in-house R&D of advanced nickel-metal hydride batteries. But times have changed.
