Where 3 Million Electric Vehicle Batteries Will Go When They Retire

A circuit board sits on top of lithium-ion battery cells in this arranged photograph taken at the Powervault Ltd. office in London, U.K., on Wednesday, Jun. 13, 2018. Powervault is among companies helping to recycle lithium-ion car and bus batteries for another seven to 10 years after being taken off the roads and stripped from chassis -- a shelf life with significant ramifications for global carmakers, electricity providers and raw-materials suppliers.
