Europe’s EV Battery Recycling Could Surge, but Timing May Limit Critical Material Recovery

The study models light-duty EV and PHEV batteries across Europe through 2045, linking vehicle adoption, operating lifetimes, used-vehicle trade, evolving chemistries, second-life storage, and recycling efficiencies to estimate the recoverable amounts of lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese. It projects a sharp rise in recoverable material from the late 2020s, but recycled-content targets remain difficult to meet, especially for cobalt, and high reuse reduces the cumulative material available for recycling by about 20%–25% over the study period.

India’s EV Battery Demand Is Set to Soar. Recycling Could Change the Math

This study models how India’s expanding electric vehicle fleet could change demand for and requirements of lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, and graphite through 2060 under several deployment and battery-chemistry scenarios. Under the baseline scenario, EV battery demand reaches about 965 GWh by 2060, while recycling could reduce cumulative lithium demand by up to 54% and offset much of the demand for cobalt and manganese.
