Transportation of electric vehicle lithium-ion batteries at end-of-life: A literature review

Research Product Type
Associated Publication
In this paper, the authors conduct a critical review of the peer-reviewed literature on EV traction battery reuse and recycling to assess how transportation is represented. In response to the limited and highly variable treatment of battery end-of-life (EoL) transportation, the literature review is followed by contextual information about the U.S., including the regulatory framework and existing network for EoL batteries.
