From Battery Use to Recycling: The Auto Industry Needs a Circular Rethink At the recent EVS38 conference in Gothenburg, I found myself the lone dissenter on a panel when moderator Mattias Goldman posed what seemed like a straightforward question: Could circularity give the ...

In the whole battery lifecycle recycling generates the least. There is more value in:

πŸ”‹ Use it well
πŸ› οΈ Maintain it

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is the largest purchaser of wine by dollar value in the world.
The LCBO has shut the flow of all American beer, wine, spirits.
We will drink "Freedom wines" from our allies and beer from our communities.

A new EV battery could last more than 8 times longer, travel farther Researchers from Dalhousie University spent six years charging and discharging an emerging lithium-ion battery material to see how many charging cycles it could take: a typical battery lasts 2,400 cyc...

A typical lithium-ion battery in an electric vehicle could take its driver the distance between Canada’s two furthest points about 175 times. However, a new battery tested recently by researchers could reach that distance nearly 1,500 times. www.nationalobserver.com/2024/12/19/n...
