China has implemented national standards for the recycling and utilisation of electric vehicle (EV) power batteries. Pilot programs report over 99% recovery of key materials such as nickel, cobalt, and manganese
Some companies achieve nickel-cobalt-manganese recovery rates of 99.6% and lithium recovery rates of 96.5%,
I’d imagine they usually do. This only impacts China, so batteries used everywhere else will probably still be thrown away.
I know for a fact batteries are not thrown away, while you’re just imagining things.
In Norway they’re storing them in open spaces, which might cause a disaster. Source: https://www.nrk.no/ostfold/livsfarlige-batteriberg-hoper-seg-opp_-_-en-varslet-katastrofe-1.17385084 (it’s in Norwegian)
Yeah, I might care to learn Norwegian so I can read your fear-mongering article of disaster.
So translating a website is a foreign concept to you. Well, let me welcome you to the internet. There’s a site called translate.google.com - paste any URL, and it can translate the article for you so you won’t have to learn another language. How freaking cool is that?
