“Current plans for recycling plants see capacity greatly outstripping the supplies of waste batteries. This will lead to uneconomic utilization rates or, more likely, a delay or scaling down in recycling projects.” ABI believes that in 2030, around one third of waste EV batteries will be end-of-life batteries from vehicles.

Northvolt is aiming for 50% recycled material in new cells by 2030. The reason to start recycling in Norway is due to the fact that the country remains years ahead of others in terms of EV adoption, which also means that she will be the first country to experience significant volumes of EV batteries reaching end-of-life.
