Nth Cycle says its electroextraction tech significantly reduces transportation costs for Li-ion battery recycling

Charged EVs

Companies on the cutting edge, such as Tesla, are already experiencing shortages. Charged : In a typical lithium-ion battery recycling process, would this be an added step that would help what’s currently used, or would it replace things? Refining the circular economy for battery materials. We sort of see them in two buckets.

EV myths busted: Are electric vehicles actually good for the environment?

Drive Electric

While the manufacturing of ICEVs has seemingly stalled in reducing carbon emissions, EVs have a cleaner and ever-improving future ahead. Most modern electric vehicles use a rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-on) battery to power the electric motor, which then turns the wheels (acceleration) instantaneously and faster than a combustion engine.
