Abstract

This paper examines global initiatives focused on recycling electric vehicle (EV) batteries, which are crucial for modern transportation systems. As electric mobility expands, the demand for effective recycling of lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) grows, presenting both environmental opportunities and challenges. The paper reviews international policies regarding EV battery recycling and highlights collaborative efforts, such as the EU-India Clean Energy and Climate Partnership and the Global Battery Alliance. These initiatives aim to advance recycling technologies and reduce the environmental impact of battery production. However, significant obstacles persist, including the high cost of recycling, insufficient infrastructure, and regulatory gaps. To secure a more sustainable and environmentally responsible future for electric mobility, innovation and improved recycling frameworks are essential.

Keywords: Electric vehicles, battery recycling, lithium-ion, global sustainability, environmental policies, international collaboration.

Introduction

Electric vehicle batteries provide rechargeable power that drives electric motors which power both BEVs and HEVs. These batteries facilitate the development of current efficient transportation systems because they represent significant progress toward a healthier environment.

The batteries used in these systems consist of Lithium-ion Batteries (LiB) that achieve both high-density power storage and lightweight operation. Most battery technologies available today show specific energy levels below those of liquid fuel which results in larger vehicles or limited driving ranges. Evolutionary devices harness the dual strengths of a strong power-output ratio with high energy efficiency and durable temperature endurance with a long lifespan, leading to long-lasting efficient performance. The high expense of material recovery stands as a main obstacle to lithium-ion battery recycling despite the availability of recycling methods for multiple battery elements.
