How Tesla’s Battery Mastermind Is Tackling EV's Biggest Problem

Lithium-ion batteries are everywhere - in phones, laptops, tablets, cameras and increasingly cars. Demand for lithium-ion batteries has risen sharply in the past five years and is expected to grow from a $44.2 billion market in 2020 to a $94.4 billion market by 2025, mostly due to the boom in electric cars. And a shortage of lithium-ion batteries is looming in the U.S.
Former Tesla CTO and Elon Musk's right-hand man, JB Straubel, started Redwood Materials in 2017 to help address the need for more raw materials and to solve the problem of e-waste. The company recycles end-of-life batteries and then supplies battery makers and auto companies with materials in short supply as EV production surges around the world. Straubel gave CNBC an inside look at its first recycling facility in Carson City, Nevada. Watch the video to learn why battery recycling will be an essential part in making EV production more sustainable.

    Yellowstone National Park has been using used Toyota Prius batteries for more than a decade as grid storage. Each new EV has the potential to store enough charge to run a normal US home for 2 days. I agree that continuing use of the battery packs until further degradation is a cleaner, cheaper, and better option than immediate EOL disposal. I could go one more, and suggest that all new EV cars should have easily removable batteries, so that newer, better batteries can be swapped in (like NIO does in China), and the body of the vehicle doesn't have to be scrapped. Electric motors last many times longer than ICE, so it stands to reason that the batteries should be easier to replace, especially with ever bettering technology. I can only assume it's the same "Jobs" excuse that's been used to justify built in obsolescence since the Great Depression.

    It is obvious. The most concentrated supply of the materials to build lithium batteries will be in old lithium batteries. The problem usually is the materials involved eventually migrate to places within the battery, or form structures, where they can't be regenerated through recharging. But disassembly and processing to separate everything out again will work. The really interesting thing is if the battery manufacturers start designing for recycling. That would be a step-change in the sustainability of battery technology. At the moment it's all out to keep improving battery technology itself in terms of capacity and recharge and discharge rate, but once that starts reaching limits (which it is), it should come down to how to efficiently recycle the battery so both the scrap value of the battery is high, and the production costs of a new battery is low.

    What’s left out is that a lot of these battery packs have perfectly good cells, but that there’s one or 2 cells that go bad ruining the overall use of the pack. If the packs were just broken up and the good cells were removed, it would further save money and put those cells back in use.

    The reason that doesn’t really work is because after every charge and discharge cycle, lithium crystals begin to grow on the electrodes, so even if a cell still holds a charge, it’s capacity and lifespan are significantly lower than a new battery.

All world evils can be traced to ONE CAUSE: too many people consuming finite resources. War, Poverty, Crime, Famine, Pollution, Plague are all caused by TOO MANY PEOPLE. The solution? Only allow the Best of the Best to breed, and require stringent tests. Healthy, sane, financially stable, educated, contributing to civilization with a valuable skill, good DNA that we want to pass on. Politically Correct fanatics and religious fanatics have a vested interest in a huge mass of starving poor unhappy people that they can manipulate. Don't be fooled. Only MANDATORY limits on population will solve anything.,

    There are a few newer technologies that were un mentioned. There is a very recent patent for relithization of spent batteries in situ. There is also Tesla's announced intention to mine clay in Nevada and harvest the lithium by adding salt to the clay. Either of these possible innovations could be a game changer for lithium supplies.

    Deposit would make electronics more expensive to purchase, which means lesser people with smartphones. Hence, lesser people to snoop on. That's not the goal of big tech. They would rather collect more data from people. So instead of a deposit, consumers are given an exchange/cashback offer of some sort. But that amount is so low, it feels worthless for your old phone/laptop. 🚮
