- Cars as we know them have been around since the early 1900s, but for over a century we have been burning fossil fuels at an alarming, almost careless, rate. Only in the past decade have we seen the electric vehicle market really taking off.
However, all EVs draw power from large battery packs placed deep beneath the car, hundreds of times the size of your latest smartphone’s battery. Have you ever wondered what happens to them once the car reaches retirement age?
A ban on petrol and diesel cars is fast approaching for many of us, meaning electric cars are becoming a much more common sight on our roads.
What happens to tesla batteries once they go bad?
....I watched the entire video and I know absolutely nothing about what tesla does with old batteries. Thanks.
Yes you are right
Yeee
@@robertlee6338 And then what happens when the cells break down and the contents leak into the ground?
@@robertlee6338 Bullshit.
There is a company with a environmentally friendly process to recycle Lithium Ion batteries. The process recovers close to all of the valuable cathode material ready to go right back in a battery manufacturers front door. The large battery manufacture's are well aware of this company.
Tesla has likely know of the company for several years but as it is with all large companies decisions are made at a snails pace. I'm thinking Tesla is and will continue to be slow to properly recycle its batteries. Tesla has never been a company about the environment, as usual it's all about the money.
I believe the company's process will soon come to the market place but as to which company will pull the trigger first, that is the billion dollar question.
Elon Musk is one of, if not the most, innovative person on the entire planet. Always thinking 2 steps ahead!
Have you ever heard about these people called scientists?
i don't think you know this. But the guy just owns the company, and he memorizes a script to make himself sound smart. I am sure he is decent at coding but he is definitely not the one behind most of teslas and his other companies' ideas. Search up JB Straubel patents, that guy and most likely some other people probably came up with most of the teslas slightly more innovative designs(judging by his patents). Elon musk is more of a mascot, his awkward personality appeals to most losers and makes people who don't pity him, great marketing tactic. But you shouldn't put the person on a pedestal, cause in reality he isn't all that smart, probably the dumbest person working in all of his companies.
Nope
@@rasithwnninayaka1633 totally agree with you
@@rasithwnninayaka1633 @Rasith Wnninayaka Have you ever read his autobiography? As a kid he was super smart, they called him a living encyclopedia and this is all before he was 10 yrs. As a young boy he learned a programing book (By the author it should need 6 months to complete) in 3 days (he was insane), he got to college and after that he found internet companies which made him millions. The people on high position in his company call him a super-smart man because he is in touch with engineers and actually design parts/test them and participate in assembly. By his words he spend 80% of his time in a factory ENGINERING things. HE is not a typical business-man he is an scientist who doesn't care about money (you would understand this is you read his book) and the greatest visionary because he made it HAPPEN. (what have you achieved?)
Good to see a video on potential battery recycling! Its an issue too few are thinking about.
I think you’re the ambassador for TESLA
definitely not bruh
@@sosa_es2721 it’s a joke
Tesla's work speaks
Each of his tesla video is a huge ad
The things you take for granted,someone else is praying for them
I am worried one side it big environment friendly e vehicles if degraded batteries can be utilised or disposed in a best way

Where’s my future millionaires at?! 🙋🏻
Here!( I hope)
6 minutes and 31 seconds of what Tesla doesn’t do with old batteries.
Car companies are not involved in the recycling of the vehicles they manufacture. Never have been. The EPA can require that manufacturers make products out of materials that are recyclable, and Tesla is doing that. Battery recycling is already happening, although Tesla's batteries are lasting a lot longer than anyone predicted. There are many Teslas on the road today with more than 250K miles on them and still using the original battery.
If you’re going through rough times, please don’t give up.
Better times are coming ❤️
Shutup you muppet
As a kid of the 80's in Nigeria, we also watched Space 1999 and looked forward to it. We're now in 2020 and everyone protesting and bombing each other.
@@JohnFekoloid well after cold war ended , energy to explore space diminished, since SpaceX entered and created cheaper ways to go into space now things are getting existing, And Wars are not start in future since most of the countries have Nuclear weapons.
but worse is just yet to come
@@yuchenliu6062 🤔
just look at my channel to see what we are doing with old EV lithium battery cells.
am I really the first person to like this Comment?
Definitely check out jehugarcia! Awesome channel for tech heads and novel battery solutions explained practically
Lowkey promoting lol
Good job
Recycling is the future
The issue is EVa are still more carbon heavy to make and the electricity is from coal and oil we really need more new nuclear power plants they are the greenest way to make lots of energy
1:19 your claim that 5% of lithium ion car batteries are recycled is misleading. LiOn packs still work after the car is scrap and go onto second life projects. Used battery packs command a high used price, demand is high and supply is low.
I think he meant overall lithium batteries, including electronics. I personally don't know what happened to my old phones...
@@pauliusvindzigelskis2224 No one cares much about tossing a small past it's prime iphone and the battery it contains, whereas a (normal petrol car) battery is big and more tangible.
Offer a refund fee for the battery module core.
My VW old batteries go to the Old Volks Home. 😂
Don't you mean the old 'Volts' home......
What about the electrical grid, that has to also keep up with the increasing demand
Good point

Electric energy can sourced from green energy like wind and solar
@@visvivacnckenya1620
Wind and solar are not green! They both take rare earth materials to create the generation.
They strip mine to get those rare earth materials!
Hopefully one day they can create green energy.
Yes, unless these batteries are recycled, there is nothing renewable about them. It's no different form fossil fuel, its another none renewable materials. When we run out we run out. Plus, the battery dumps are highly toxic to the environment. Same thing with those electricity generating "flowers" aka wind turbines, each blade is 10+ tones of fiberglass and epoxy. Which after 10-20 years go into landfills. Sadly, so far all these products are only great for making money, not the environment.
SI units Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tesla should consider collaborating with American Battery Technology (if not done so already) to speed up the revolution of recycling.
I love how you stated that the amount of lithium in car batteries is the big issue and not you know the amount of lithium in every single person's pocket on the planet that is absolutely not recycled and is actually the big part of the problem....
This video is cool
the video is about tesla not phones
Well then you should listen to what Tesla is actually doing and recycling then th-cam.com/video/U2P9FoeWmzw/w-d-xo.html
I really love the editing of this video. Its amazing. Thank you for the content ✨
Redwood materials, search for it. Founded by former head of engineering in Tesla.
Exactly what I wanted to mention. JB Straubel will dominate that market since hes way ahead of the curve.
Yep big business opportunity more companies should do it as well.
India and 2030, I think you got it wrong there mate. It must be 3030.
If so many EV batteries are being scrapped, how come I need to pay $1,000 for a used Tesla module
Because even if one battery is bad in the Module you need to replace it Because just one bad cell makes the Module worthless
@@adalmartinez2340 Even a bad module could be torn down and the single cells sold.
It all sounds like good PR but I’ll believe it when I see it
Who else was expecting like a childs bedtime story about batteries? Lol
VW have a battery recycling plant now up and running. The video is on here......
I've ordered the CyberTruck tri motor fsd & getting ready to order the S dual motor as well..I've made enough with TSLA to buy both..I love Space X, StarShip & all ELON does..
Enjoy! The Model S is beyond amazing
I would rather buy hydrogen vehicles, I guess :P
Problem is that the cheapest source of hydrogen is fossil fuel.
as an indian no way mister it will not be full electrical or anything dude I thing after 100 decades
Bhai agle 10 saal mein hi India mein electric vehicles ka revolution aa jayega
The day Tesla enter in India it will revolutionize the whole industry with innovative competition
World largest fleet of electric three Wheelers is already in India
You need to do some research before spreading fake news abt yr nation
Major car makers like Tata, Mahindra, MG motors , Hundai have already their electric vehicles on sale in India and selling them beyond their expectations it's avery good start and others like Maruti Suzuki are working on their electric car models & will launch soon
As an Indian I humbly request you to please don't tarnish your & my country image without doing any research
Cloth hats love that kind.
@6:05 of a 6:31 video - “...there is no standard way to recycle a lithium ion battery...” (true).
The rest of the video is full of promises, projections and Tesla propaganda.
Exactly. I don’t understand how these countries will stay true to their word about zero emissions by X date. They will literally have to ban the purchase of fossil fuel cars years in advance. Also, if they prevent the use of these fossil fuel cars after this date, they will be reducing the freedoms of their people. They will also reduce the gas-station industry as well since most people won’t need to charge their car there unless traveling. Something else not mentioned in this video is all of the environmental damage from mining battery materials. Even if the carbon somehow cancels out, you can’t ignore the problems from the mining
I heard the battery core contains gold in the wiring . So it has core fee for anyone who recycles it. Lol
I'm interested in knowing how much it cost to get rid of an ev at the end of its battery life. Seems a taboo topic.
I'll gladly pay the cost to fully recycle my car's battery pack on purchase. Let's say it's an extra 1000 euros to the car on purchase. It's nothing compared to it's overall price... But it means a lot to the environment.
Market demand for recycled battery materials will take care of this. Recycled elements are considerably less expensive than elements mined from the ground, and they work just as well in new batteries.
Electrical Mobility is the End off the Freedom!
Elon Musks name said how many times? Hmmm
My question is, whats gonna happen with all of the classic manuals as well with cars running on diesel or petrol... if e-cars take over.
How do oil companies gather all of the exhaust that is created from every drop of gasoline they sell?
You mean the plant food that CO2 is?
@@SweBeach2023 it’s a joke
I was thinking of this question... And this wierd ai knew it-_-
Elon Musk and Tesla is not going to solve anything (apart from their own profit).
Tech vision have been appointed as brand ambassador... 🥳🥳🥳🥳🤩🤩🤩
I am looking forward to Elon’s forward innovative ideas and making it possible.
Why wait for Elon? Have You not a mind of your own?
03:04 It's not the case in Chile where all of the mining companies are switching to hydrogen powered vehicles.
This film seems to be totally sponsored by Tesla! A warning to viewers!
Redwood materials Recycles batteries. Created by Tesla confounder jb Strombol.
When my Model X can only hold a 50% charge, I will move the battery into the house as backup powerwall at 50 kWh. I have a powerwall but only 14 kwh. So the old car battery could be used another 10 years then recycled
Very good instinct l also do it with my old batteries of my ebikes l can used them all night free of 12v lights in single charge for a month for another 2years before the old batteries totally busted and can also runs my tv and electric fans for 4hrs using an inverter during brownouts how helpful they are just make full the used of it in an ecofriendly way.

Title is something but content is from Tesla.
That's alot of double A batteries.....good to.know electric cars are just as bad for the environment....actually worse cause of the children mining the metals...
Yes..but not a billionaire who leaves the state, CA, (which set the priorities for the upcoming EV market,) to Texas to avoid paying taxes and an apparent grudge against a governor who was, as Covid was burning through the US and locally, placing the safety of people over production of car...so from, less than a full picture, that’s my response.
In the EU there exists a producer responsibility to make sure their products are recycled.
This is the producer or importers responsibility and concerns Chemicals, Plastics, cardboard, paper AND BATTERIES.
It works like this...
There are companies that work with recycling, in the case of batteries the importer/producer declare amount and type of batteries sold each month and pay an amount/Kg and type then the recycling association takes care of the rest (collection and recycling) so it is already going on.
In the case of EV batteries they are mostly being stored at the moment and will be so for 2-3 years while building up recycling capacity for this kind of batteries.
There is the possibility for giving EV batteries a "second life" as storage for another 10+ years before recycling but the volume of batteries has to go up quite a bit before this industry get going.

Yes. When my S batteries die around 2031 that owner can recycle and trade for a new recycled battery pack!
NOTE: Tesla recycled batteries are now available as replacement golf cart batteries. Thanks for info.
Who ever offers lifetime replacement on there batteries will rule the ev space. Besides crushing Weimar green new government inflation and horrible wages not keeping up with cost of living the bigist barrier to intry on perching a new ev is range and what happens if the batteries die after spending lots of money. This fear should not be a consumers problem but the manufacturers solution to keep its future batteries cost down. Make batteries replacement free or just carry lifetime battery insurance for anytime replacement.
'Recycling' would be the go-to word in almost all industries, in 2040s and beyond. Nature won't let us waste her resources for our ever-increasing desires, and get away.
I'm a regular fella on a very regular wage. I buy very used wheels when the one I own blows up. Just the other day I bought a 1997 Corolla for $400 , well shy of any EV dreams I have
Bruh NOBODY sends li-ion batteries and the like to landfills. There's a huge used market for batteries. I'll actually volunteer as a "landfill" for whoever wants to throw these away and I'll repurpose them all if that's the case, which it's not because, again, used batteries do hold quite some value and get sold instead of thrown away
Can't recycle gas or oil without very convoluted means. EV's may seem expensive at first glance, but they easily make up for it in lower maintenance and long lifespans. And unlike gas cars, which have stagnated in terms of efficiency, EV's see big advancements every couple months. Only thing gas cars have going for them is the huge preexisting infrastructure to support them.
Tesla do recycle, and of course they will in the future. Because its the right ting to do, and the economic of it ensure it to be a sustainable buissiness .. We should not worry about batteries at the end of veichle life. They all are used as a kind of stationary storage.. just look at the crazy prizes..and they will last decades. And when they are done, cost of metal inside will ensure recycling 👍🇳🇴
What we should worry about is the waste gasses and particular matter from the ice veichles during their 10-20 year life...how in the world could that be cleaned up and reused??
by 2030, we will be short of raw material used for lithium ion battery and we again have to think hard for new ways of running automobile... then hydrogen cell will be talked.... then something else....
are we in a viscous circle of uncertainty for future ... or it's a big scam all together....
At solar and wind producing less than 5% of our Electric Power where are you going to get all that Electric Power to charge a complete Electric fleet. We can't produce enough now at Peak Summer times? It's going to take far better Battery Tecknolegy & far more Electric Production to be Viable.
Tesla has a net worth of about $700 billion and Elon Musk $165 billion, some raw materials come from Congo but it’s still one of the poorest countries in the world all while Elon Musk invests in going to Mars. This Elon hype needs to end tbh
Yes, if I decided to save my money and purchase another car, and I won't, but if I did I would use a company that recycled their batteries.
Although, the truth behind powering the future is actually Green Hydrogen power,
so I would buy one of those simply because Green Hydrogen is the future of all transport systems on earth.
With 33 million cubic miles of water at our disposal it is absolutely the fuel that will outlast all other fuels,
unless we somehow devise a means of running our transport and heating systems on air, without depleting the air supply of course.
When we devise a mass system that takes power from the air then I will go with that, but it's perhaps a little too early for revealing this possibility yet.
Kind regards

I don't see, AT ALL, how using electric cars is reducing pollution. I mean, if you aren't burning the fuel on the car, you are probably burning it at thermal plants to feed the power grid. Renewables can't support the power grid even of small countries, so coal and petroleum derivatives are still used quite a lot.
While yes, you can certainly use renewable energy with electric cars, which you can't with petroleum based cars, I don't think that it's sustainable if everyone started to use electric cars.
I like how "everyone knows" that ICE engines will never be better than they are (I. E. they are discarding possible advances in the future) and the same people praise EV cars for what the batteries will/may be in the future (I. E. praise is based on predictions and promises that may not happen)
What a nonsens Question. Old batteries are raw material. Instead of digging it out again it should be made economically to reuse the materials. Companies work on maximal profit.Recycle companies cost money to build. As long governments don't push the car producer they always go the easiest way.
There is no such thing as 100 percent clean and renewable. Windmills for instance use a massive amount of fossils fuels to produce, ship and install.
Not to mention the blades are and have to be replaced filling landfills with massive amounts of fiberglass.
The turbines also need to be replaced and or rebuilt.
I'm all for alternatives to fossil fuels. But I hate misleading and bias information.
Don't worry about car batteries...their removal and disposal are under professional control...worry about phone batteries, the average user I am sure just throws them in the bin and they all end up in the ground....not good!
Nonsense! It is impossible to fully recyckle batteries!
Silly title. Why would the vendor have to take care of the crap of the buyer? Other car manufacturers also dont cleanup for their customers. Anyway, Tesla has no recycle initiative yet, because almost all of their cars are stil running. And there are commercial recycle companies starting up when enough cars reach the EOL.
There is a company with a environmentally friendly process to recycle Lithium Ion batteries. The process recovers close to all of the valuable cathode material ready to go right back in a battery manufacturers front door. The large battery manufacture's are well aware of this company.

I believe the company's process will soon come to the market place but as to which company will pull the trigger first, that is the billion dollar question.
So much for ev's being environment friendly lot of it is all talk regards recycling we can't even recycle paper properly, you don't hear much of the ev brigade talking about what happens when the ev's are scrapped which will be often as folk want latest gimmick
Now, Where do people think the energy comes from? Solar pannels require glass, coal, and quartz, all materials mined. Most power plants also run on fossil fuels or biomas (grinding up trees) to make it. this produces much more pollution on the environment, and will hurt it much more. Also, people are going to think that they shouldnt buy the already made gas cars, meaning all the steel and alluminum and other metals, aswell as all the electrionics and things, are going to be wasted, and rot. Also, teslas arent somehow going to save the world, as they require the same amount of steel and alluminum, but with even more electronics that require rare earth metals. The myth of teslas saving climate change and such unfortunately just isnt true.
Of course everyone agrees with what you tell .... but you forget that, in fact, everyone forgets .... how is the car's batteries filled ... so how is electricity generated ...? Every form of energy that enters (gasoline, sun or any other energy) pollutes nature to the same extent as your electric car spends ....
There's a group of college students that has solved the batteries problem but it battery company don't like it. That why now we never heard anything from them now. Too sad we can't overcome the power of capitalism
How do you just undo a chemical bond? You don't, sooo I would like to see the science behind this. This sounds fishy. Because the bond is degraded over a period of time, it literally dies, hence why you need new batteries. Just thinking out loud here.
Everyone is so concerned about EV batteries going to landfill. As it is now it is so difficult to get used EV batteries that you pay over half the price of a new battery for a second hand one. They are being repurposed for energy storage to the point that recycling plants can't get enough to operate unless they refuse to give you back the old battery.
Shouldn't even be making anything like batteries without a plan to recycle them in place. Then a backup plan for that.
Basically everything is recyclable if people actually want it to happen.
Li-Cycle currently is North Americas largest battery recycler
This repurposing of battery's is a bit of a nonsense. It's only delaying the inevitable, which is that these battery's will all degrade to the point of obsolescence to the point they must be recycled.
Absolutely Fuck not not elon standardised by an cooperation who would major share never ends well for others .. it should be a group that un biased to get the best of everyone like electrify America common charger so that is that .
The new tesla battery has same energy density as the old batteries. It was a lie..... Elon said they increased energy not energy density. The range of the vehicle only increased by 15%.... That doesn't makes sense
The possible flight shortly match because march rationally wreck than a hulking equinox. ruthless, shrill eagle
Advanced battery tech should mitigate this issue. Trouble will be with countries that do not recycle or dispose of responsibly.
800$ to recycle a 20,000$ pack seems cheap to me. cost of materials has to be over 800$ for a 85kw pack..
Recycling should be compulsory for every EV manufacturer as it is a grate threat to environment.
Where the old batteries go. I guest India will recycle those batteries for better electric bicycle batteries
Tesla car battery last a long time and it is expensive. It is not like cell phone battery people throw it away. It can be reused long after the car is out of service. 💪
To battery heaven.
recycle yes important but not a deal breaker. no 80% charge 300+ miles in under 5 min- yes a deal breaker.
So trade fossil fuel pollution for old batteries pollution....hahaha ! Green movement is so ridiculous
We could do it in the next two years why give the gas companys more time to make more billions and billions and billions not like they're starving
Currnt price of buying an EV is far too much for most people even with government rebates so the issue of recycling their batteries is mute to most folks.
I would want to buy from a manufacturer that recycles as much as possible - because whats the point of an electric car if it ends up being as bad as a petrol car after when end of life is included.
The ocean is where all my liberal friends put their old batteries. Right next to where I lost all my guns in a boating accident.
Solar power is not green. The panel’s need rare earth materials to create power from the sun.
They strip mine to get the rare earth minerals.
Actually nuclear energy is the closest to green energy.
It's funny how this doesn't even touch upon the most obvious and yet single best option of simply disposing of the batteries in the ocean.
Use me as a dislike button. Watched the whole video and didn't learn how exactly batteries are disposed when they're at the end of their life span
They go to the battery grave yard? That's why Hydrogen gas vehicles are better ...it creates water as a bye product all the hardware is reusable that last for the life of the car!
2030 for Israel? lol, Tesla got here only now and beforehand almost no Electric vehicle have been on the road here
A mystery.... unsolved battery recycling.... whole lot of nothing
I'm on the bog taking a dump
In House Solarbattery? Where weight and place is not so important then in a car? First thinking of my.. I'm curious what the solution will be
Well you’re limited by volume in homes. Grid storage would be better
