Recycling Complexities
A lot of consumers are concerned about the recycling drawbacks of all of these batteries going into landfills. But California is one of the states that has already enacted several different recycling legislation directed at electric cars. There will be special incentives for recycling as well as centers that will take these batteries and re-use them (via CNET).
The Hummer EV is just one of the many new EVs that’s going to use recycled batteries. The new recycling processes are going to change the way that the industry uses batteries and replaces them in these cars. Consumers won’t have to worry about the environmental impact of battery recycling anymore. The future looks brighter than ever for the EV market and California is leading the charge for an electrified future.
