Industry study finds lead-acid to remain most wide-spread automotive energy storage for foreseeable future; new chemistries continue to grow

Green Car Congress

With regard to overall storage capability and potential for further fuel efficiency improvements, the demand for larger battery systems based on lithium, nickel and sodium will continue to grow through the increased market penetration of vehicles with higher levels of hybridization and electrification. Sodium-nickel chloride batteries.

Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

In contrast, lead-acid batteries have a 99% recycling rate in the US. The more collection we do, the better for the environment. The IRA leaves it up to the folks that are making the batteries to try and get the material back and build a circular supply chain, which is essentially what happens with lead-acid batteries.
