From smartphones to EVs to backup power, lithium-ion batteries run much of our modern world. But we’ve got a big problem on our hands when these energy reservoirs wear out, especially in a future where electric vehicles are the norm. Today we're talking to experts to explore the current state of electric car battery recycling. We'll learn how it’s done and why it's so important, and we’ll learn all recycling isn't necessarily good for the environment. 🔌 Check out our recommendations for the best home EV chargers: 🏆 Best Overall Charger: JuiceBox 40 - https://go.evpulse.com/EVSE-BestOverall (affiliate) 🏷️ Best Value Charger: Emporia EV - https://go.evpulse.com/EVSE-BestValue (affiliate) 🔗 Full List w/ Reviews: https://go.evpulse.com/EVSE-BestList 👏 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCFvAGQioaTHJaOLjp3s4cQ/join 🚗 More Features: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPSKilVZK-JJp7_hiQOEmxnrl3CiGIqdA ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 Introduction 1:00 The Business 1:55 A Battery Wasteland 3:10 Surprising Finding 5:05 What is CAM? 7:00 How to Recycle a Battery 9:05 Not So Clean 10:12 Aqua Metals Has a Better Way 11:15 Recycling's Surprising Benefit 12:21 Redwood Materials 14:30 Will the U.S. be Ready? 16:30 What's Coming 17:54 A New Problem 19:01 Conclusions 👩‍💻 For the latest news from the electric vehicle frontier visit EV Pulse (https://www.evpulse.com). 📚 EV Pulse has all the information you need to master Electric Vehicles!

The biggest battery in the 2024 Kia EV9 has a caveat: it charges slower than other E-GMP vehicles. In this Charging Challenge test, we'll see how long you'll be waiting at charging stops during long family road trips. It's one of the few non-luxury three-row EVs available in the U.S., and this electric SUV offers superb performance both on road. So we hope charging speed doesn't hobble an otherwise fantastic electric car! 🔌 Check out our recommendations for the best home EV chargers: 🏆 Best Overall Charger: JuiceBox 40 - https://go.evpulse.com/EVSE-BestOverall (affiliate) 🏷️ Best Value Charger: Emporia EV - https://go.evpulse.com/EVSE-BestValue (affiliate) 🔗 Full List w/ Reviews: https://go.evpulse.com/EVSE-BestList 👏 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCFvAGQioaTHJaOLjp3s4cQ/join 🚗 More Kia Content: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPSKilVZK-JIXBhLmCoHj4aDSy0NdwVPm ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 Introduction 0:23 What are E-GMP vehicles? 1:04 Battery Sizes 2:22 How we Test DC Fast Charging 3:47 Off to the Races 4:56 10 to 80 vs. the Last 20 6:02 Conclusions 👩‍💻 For the latest news from the electric vehicle frontier visit EV Pulse (https://www.evpulse.com). 📚 EV Pulse has all the information you need to master Electric Vehicles!

HMG lowered the voltage a bit on the 99.8 kWh battery pack in the Kia EV9 (and presumably future EVs with this battery), which does lengthen the 10-80% charge time.
