Europe wants a battery industry. Investors want returns.

The battery reuse pivot, the recycling stumble, and what the data actually says

Our latest research published: LFP turns positive around 2037, 2026 cohorts produce net positive lifetime value — and today's contracts are pricing neither.

Battery recycling will be cheaper and more profitable. And so will reuse and repurposing. Join us in London to discover why and discuss what it means for the market.

Looking forward to speaking at @_InterBattery in Seoul next week 🇰🇷.

Will present CES data on the real lifecycle of batteries🔋♻️– and what it means for carbon footprint, residual value, and the future supply of recycled materials.

Reach out if attending and would like to meet.

@Karl77573036 Well, that’s kind of what CATL is doing with their choco battery. With proprietary tech.

[Hans Eric Melin @hanseric]

Prices of used EV batteries are falling. That's good for recyclers. But also for repurposing businesses. But also for EV exporters...

@electricfelix @ChanNgu18502948 When it comes to hydrometallurgical treatment and production of salts the pipeline is not long and nothing is fully financed. Not so much of a problem as here is no pCAM production. Pre-processing is not so much of a problem as we have more than what we need.

Why there is no tsunami of waste EV batteries

@electricfelix Dreaming us back to the days when PV modules cost $4/W. Those were the days.

[Hans Eric Melin @hanseric]

Again, the Commission wants it all:

Clean energy
A competitive clean tech industry
Made in Europe
By Europeans

That’s at least two objectives too many to be realistic in a globalised world.

The EU want to have its cake and eat it. That may kill the automotive industry. My two Euro cents in Stockholm.

Invest in battery recycling. As easy as investing in a coffee shop: https://t.co/9krcNymZvq

Before we improve EV sales we need to improve EV ownership. https://t.co/xJMyccm5yz

The story about an adorable EV. And about its lifecycle.

[Hans Eric Melin @hanseric]

Residual values for EVs continue to slide.

And here's the thing. Next year's EV stock coming off 3-years lease contracts in Europe will be around 28% higher. Will the adoption rate among private buyers keep up with that?
