bidder, " confirmed Ascend's O'Kronley,
saying the material is too important to
release to an open market. He said that
although the industry will see elements
of both open- and closed-loop systems
for some time, EV battery recycling is
almost certain to evolve to a mostly
closed-loop environment.
Meanwhile, the panelists had a dim
Progression of
an end-of-life EV
battery through
various current
recycling processes.
recycling progresses through early stages
of startup, but most panelists agreed
that that eventual result is likely to be a
" closed loop " process in which automakers
form close partnerships with recyclers
in what becomes a model in which
the automaker " controls materials almost
indefinitely, said ABTC's Melsert. He
added that closed-loop arrangements
also will help to provide " security of supply "
to automakers and their closelyaligned
battery-manufacturing partners.
A closed-loop system also will be

essential, panelists believed, because of
eligibility requirements connected to
incentives from the federal government's
Inflation Reduction Act. Retaining control
of domestically produced materials,
from mining through recycling and reuse,
will ease the burden of complying
with IRA dictates and also allow manufacturers
to retain a steady flow of materials
not necessarily subject to the economics
of the commodities market.
" If you're an OEM, you don't want to
sell that [recycled] material to the highest
view of the potential for so-called " second-life "
use of entire EV batteries once
those batteries become too depleted for
effective use in a vehicles. Second-life
applications - often cited as a viable
competitor for recycling - just won't be
the best use of the valuable battery materials,
most panelists asserted.
Second-life usage " has a lot of barriers, "
said Gerardo Ramos-Vivas, Battery
Lifecycle senior manager, Toyota Motor
North America. " Right now, we're thinking
that's way out there [in the future]. "
Ascend's O'Kronley agreed, adding, " I
think the second-life market is going to
be a lot smaller than we think about. I
truly believe that batteries will be for
the life of the vehicle, " and that once a
battery has reached the end of its useful
life, it will be more efficient and economical
to recycle its elements rather
than keep the entire battery for a secondary
purpose.
