En un coup d'œil

  • Most EV batteries retain 70–80% capacity at end of vehicle life, enabling second‑life uses like energy storage.
  • Consumers lack confidence in recycling and reuse, despite growing infrastructure and future capacity.
  • ULSE standards support safe repurposing, recycling, and circular battery design to help reduce environmental risk.
