#EV stands for EVIL Vehicles. Data shows that only 5% of an EV battery is recycled. The electronic components of an EV battery weighs at least 20% of the weight of an EV battery that typically weighs well over 1000 lb. Even if you ignore the toxic and carcinogenic components such as cobalt in the battery, you still have 200lb electronics and plastic that are not recycled. An EV also uses electronic controls that will never be recycled.

Electric Vehicle Battery Recycling
It is crucial that battery lifecycles are managed sustainably in order to meet the growing demand for electronics and EVs without depleting finite resources of raw materials, and to minimise the environmental damage associated with mining.www.futuretracker.com
