Europe's rapid transition to electric vehicles (EVs) has sparked a welcome shift towards cleaner transportation, but a growing concern is emerging: what will happen to the millions of batteries that will eventually reach the end of their life cycle? As the continent's EV sales continue to soar, the issue of battery waste and disposal is becoming increasingly pressing. With an estimated 1.4 million EVs set to reach the end of their lifespan in the next decade, Europe is facing a potential "battery graveyard" problem, with significant environmental and economic implications. Can innovative solutions, such as battery recycling and repurposing, help mitigate this issue and ensure a more sustainable future for EVs?
