Contrary to popular belief, EV batteries are unlikely to become e-waste due to their long lifespan that often exceeds that of conventional cars. Manufacturers are incentivized to produce durable batteries, with warranties ensuring they last for at least eight years or 100,000 miles. Furthermore, even batteries with diminished capacity can find new life in applications such as grid storage, which enhances their value and utility after vehicle use. Stories from engineers repurposing these batteries for energy storage further dispel e-waste concerns.
Even after the vehicle itself leaves the road, the batteries will still be useful for grid storage and will be recyclable.
They have clearly proven that they can outlast the average lifetime of a car.
