Electric vehicle lithium-ion battery recycled content standards for the US – targets, costs, and environmental impacts

Research Product Type

Associated Publication

Lithium-ion battery recycling can decrease life cycle environmental impacts of electric vehicles (EVs) and assist in securing domestic supply chains; however, the US has no policies for recycling of batteries at their end-of-life. This analysis calculates feasible RCSs for the US based on future sale projections, techno-economic assessment, life cycle assessment, and material flow analysis.

Webinar: Insights from the New End of Life EV Battery Policy Simulator

In this webinar, NCST researcher Alissa Kendall will share insights into end-of-life management of lithium ion batteries. An integrated approach to managing these batteries is crucial to continuing the increasing adoption of electric vehicles.
