As the world is increasingly shifting towards greener energy solutions, the popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) is skyrocketing. In India alone, the EV market, valued at $2 billion in 2023, is anticipated to increase to $7.09 billion by 2025. This surge is driven by governmental incentives and a growing awareness among consumers about the need to reduce our carbon footprint. Since lithium-ion batteries power most of these vehicles, they are central to this shift. With the ongoing increase in EV usage, the production and usage of these batteries will also increase. Let’s look at the environmental implications of battery manufacturing for EVs.
Non-hazardous materials in lithium-ion batteries
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are celebrated for their efficiency and relatively non-hazardous materials compared to other battery types. These batteries are designed to minimize environmental risks and contain…
