Lithium batteries are used widely to power EVs for zero-emission mobility and store renewable energy, such as wind and solar power. They also play an important role in reducing dependence on fossil fuels and cutting greenhouse gas emissions. However, if these batteries are not recycled properly at the end of their usable lives, they might not necessarily be a better option.Currently, retired lithium batteries with 30–80% remaining capacity are repurposed to power street lights, low-speed EVs and other devices. Those with less than 30% are bound for disposal or recycling. While the metals...
