Instead of throwing old EV batteries away when turning in the car, they are now being recycled as part of EV Charging Stations.
According to Roman Alberti, the cofounder and CEO of Voltfang, a startup company in Germany that makes the charging stations, the recycled EV batteries "are designed for high charging and discharging rates, allowing them to quickly supply energy to fast-charging stations.”
EV batteries are difficult to recycle. So instead of taking the batteries apart to get the valuable materials inside—a complex and expensive process—some companies are finding simpler ways to give them a second life.
