Lithium from Norwegian electric car batteries isn't recycled that often. Instead, it ends up as waste when other metals it's mixed with are recycled. But this may change.
Scientists have been working on new methods of energy storage for years. One thing that scientists have been investigating as a replacement to modern lithium-ion batteries is a supercapacitor. The issue with supercapacitors today is that they are...
Currently damaged and defective lithium ion car batteries are hard to transport as legislation dictates they have to be placed within an explosion proof box which costs thousands of pounds to be transported.
