The proposed new EU regulations, which may come into force in 2023 and will update the 2006 EU Battery Directive, seek to make all of these considerations comply with strict standards geared towards minimizing the costs to the environment. Excessively rigid restrictions on how it may operate can stifle its ability to adapt and compete.

The salt lakes in the border region between Argentina, Bolivia and Chile are home to roughly half the world’s lithium reserves. Solvents and other chemicals do not come into contact with the environment during this process. In this way, the company creates complete transparency over the origin and mining methods of the material.

Lithium is a metal that is mined in the deserts of Australia, China, Argentina, and Chile. All the lithium mining in the world to date has not done anything like as much damage to the environment as just one major oil spill. So what about the lithium used in EV batteries? So what about the batteries?
