Why is the battery recycling system for new energy vehicles still incomplete?
Why is the battery recycling system for new energy vehicles still incomplete? The imperfect recycling system for new energy vehicle batteries is the result of multiple factors such as technological bottlenecks, market mechanisms, policy regulations, and industry chain coordination. Although the industry has initially formed a recycling network, there are still many breakpoints in actual operation, which restrict the efficiency of resource recycling and the achievement of sustainable development goals. There are significant differences in material formulas and structural designs among batteries of different car manufacturers and models, leading to a lack of unified standards in the dismantling process. The key metal extraction technology is not yet fully mature, and some enterprises still rely on high energy consuming processes such as pyrometallurgy, which not only has limited recovery rates but also generates a large amount of greenhouse gases. The technological ...
