How much do EOL batteries cost?

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has devised a model for evaluating the cost of echelon utilization of EOL batteries. According to Hua et al. (2021), this research demonstrates that the overall cost of echelon utilization of EOL batteries amounts to $44/kWh, encompassing $20/kWh for battery costs and $24/kWh for echelon utilization costs.

How do EOL batteries sort and reorganize?

Sorting and reorganizing EOL batteries primarily rely on classification and clustering algorithms like k-means (Lai et al., 2021), support vector machines (Patil et al., 2015; Zhou et al., 2020), and neural networks (Lai et al., 2019).

How many EOL batteries will be collected by 2035?

By combining the battery collection rate with various battery lifespan scenarios, a multiplicative variation in the amount of EOL batteries collected occurs. Under the Average, Low bound, and High bound lifespan scenarios, it is projected that EOL LIBs will reach 29.51 million, 22.51 million, and 39.84 million units, respectively, by 2035.

Can EOL batteries be recycled?

Currently, the recycling rate for EOL lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is far below what will be required in the future. EOL LIBs can be recycled, especially those from electric vehicle (EV) battery modules, which are projected to reach 4 million tons by 2030. In the following sections, we will review present industrial processes for recovery and eventual recycling of LIB components.

What is the estimated weight of EOL EV battery modules by 2030?

EOL EV battery modules could reach 4 million tons by 2030 alone (based on the estimation in Fig. 1). This is far below the recycling rate which will be required to recycle future EOL LIBs.

Is there a surge in EOL power batteries in China?

In comparison to the Average scenario, there is a respective 35 % increase and 24 % decrease in the EOL count for the Low bound and High bound scenarios. These findings highlight an impending surge in EOL power batteries in China.
