A123 Systems introduced Nanophosphate EXT ( EX treme T emperature), a new lithium-ion battery technology capable of operating at extreme temperatures without requiring thermal management. We feel that we have erased the cold cranking deficit—the Achilles heel [for Li-ion] from a performance perspective against lead acid. ”

The economic benefits of recycling Li-ion batteries are clear, but at present, only a small percentage of them are recycled. The two main processes for recycling lithium-ion batteries are pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy. There are currently two main processes for recycling lithium-ion batteries.

We need new storage technologies if more renewables are to be used on the electrical grid; similarly, the electrification of transport requires much cheaper and longer-lasting batteries. The size of these batteries (in comparison to those used for portable electronics) places severe pressure on materials resources.

In comparison, traditional combustion engines take longer to get engine-generated power to the wheels and might need to rev up in order to reach maximum torque. However, the process of obtaining raw materials and manufacturing lithium-ion batteries does generate waste and harmful emissions. Electric vehicles are future-proof.

A January 2007 Pacific National Laboratory study shows that if we woke up tomorrow and all our vehicles could plug in, todays grid could support more than three-quarters of them charging at night without building a single power plant. But its monumentally less pollution , even on the national (half-coal) grid.
