Australians will need to find a way to dispose of 1.6 million tonnes of used electric vehicle (EV) batteries by 2050 as part of the nation’s goal of net-zero.
The Battery Stewardship Council, along with its research partners, estimates that based on current trends, the volume of EV waste will expand exponentially to 30,000 tonnes by 2030 before accelerating toward the 1.6 million mark.
