In 1911, Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes plunged a mercury wire into liquid helium and noticed that the wire’s electrical resistance vanished. Once the coil is charged, the energy can be stored nearly indefinitely with little to no decay, provided that the cooling is maintained. The wire had become a “superconductor.”

Advanced recycling methods can recover up to 95% of these raw materials, significantly contributing to resource conservation and sustainability in the EV industry. These retired batteries can effectively store energy from renewable sources like solar or wind, providing a stable power supply when needed.

That figure does not include damages from climate change, harm to ecosystems, effects of some air pollutants such as mercury, and risks to national security, which the report examines but does not monetize. The production of heat for buildings or industrial processes accounts for about 30% of American energy demand.
