The electric revolution is gathering pace. As more vehicles become electrified, greater volumes of batteries and battery materials are required. These batteries will eventually reach end of life and must be repurposed or recycled. Currently, the UK lacks the infrastructure to recycle the batteries and recover their materials, so vehicle manufacturers are ...

A collaborative project involving specialist UK-based companies and academia to develop, localise and industrialise the next generation of EV technology for existing and future vehicles produced by London Electric Vehicle Company (LEVC). Building on the success of the current ‘eCity’ technology that has already helped to reduce over 30,000 tonnes of CO2, ...

"Our vision is to create a safe, economically sustainable battery recycling supply chain in the UK allowing industrial batteries from vehicles to be recycled into base components and materials, which are subsequently reused.

This study aims to dematerialise electric vehicle battery packs by introducing a remanufacturing service. By applying a circular economy approach to electric vehicle battery packs, their dependence on critical materials will be reduced. Building on previous experience with remanufacture, battery assembly and recycling, this project will address both techn...
