【SuperX Deep Insight】Where Do Scrap Batteries from New Energy Vehicles Go?

🚗With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle (NEV) market, , China’s new energy vehicle (NEV) fleet has exceeded 20 million, with Shanghai alone accounting for a whopping 1.28 million! Over time, the batteries powering these vehicles will gradually exit the market.

💡Did you know? The average lifespan of a NEV battery ranges from 5 to 8 years. This means that in the coming years, a significant number of used batteries will need to be properly disposed of. Failing to do so can lead to environmental pollution and waste of precious resources.

🔧At the Pudong Jingao Bus maintenance workshop, mechanics are busy dismantling the batteries from retired NEV buses. These buses have reached their scrap age, and their batteries will also retire along with them. Fortunately, these batteries will be professionally recycled by Wanxiang Bus Factory according to the battery leasing agreement.

💎Scrapped NEVs mostly adopt a vehicle-battery separation disposal model. This is because battery packs, after recycling, have considerable economic value. Industry insiders reveal that batteries with a remaining capacity of over 80% are highly sought after in the energy storage sector and fetch impressive recycling prices. Moreover, elements like lithium carbonate in the batteries also possess high economic value.

🚌Taking NEV buses as an example, a scrapped bus equipped with 12 or 16 batteries can yield at least 3.6 tons of batteries. By strengthening the recycling of used batteries, we can meet the partial resource demand for high-value metal elements in NEVs.

🛡️However, if used batteries are not disposed of properly, they can become a significant source of pollution. Therefore, in Pudong Jingao Bus, batches of retired batteries are transported via hazardous material vehicles to qualified battery recycling and reuse facilities for processing. About 60% of used batteries can be utilized in a cascading manner for applications such as solar street lights, e-bike power sources, home energy storage, and more. The remaining batteries are used to extract rare metal resources.

🤔So, what about individual NEV owners? How should they dispose of their batteries when their vehicles are scrapped? Most owners choose to dispose of them through 4S shops or online recycling platforms. However, it’s crucial to choose formal channels to ensure safe and environmentally friendly recycling of batteries.

💪SuperX calls for strengthening the recycling system for NEV used batteries, improving recycling rates, and reducing environmental pollution. Let’s work together to contribute to a greener future! 🌱🌍
