How battery recycling could power our EV future

- With gas prices remaining high and Canadians looking to cut their emissions, electric vehicles are becoming the preferred choice for many. Sales of EVs skyrocketed last year, increasing by 75 per cent worldwide.
But innovation brings with it new questions- like what happens to the car’s massive battery pack when it dies?
For The New Reality, Krista Hessey goes inside a Canadian company on a mission to solve this future waste problem and help deal with a looming critical minerals crisis.

Every time I start my EV although quiet it sounds like ‘Child Slavery in the Congo’. Odd I know but true.
I believe it, I could hear kids screaming and crying the last time you drove by my place, it's faint, but it's there, you might want to take it into Tesla and have them calibrate it.
Bet you cry about your cell phone being made by locked down underpaid suicidal Chinese people as well, don't you? I agree, as a world we should set standards over what conditions are acceptable to purchase products from. It will cost more, and a few will like that.
Just need to figure out how not to dump them 100 miles offshore
Ominous is the lack of apparent or visible fire suppressant systems in that recycling process. I'm sure they have them, but once a Lithium cation is liberated, it is vulnerable to ignition when exposed to oxygen. Once that starts in a mass volume of similar material, a chain reaction starts. I trust all of the commercial collections you see at such businesses such as Home Depot, Staples, etc. are ready for such incidents.
No!!! We're gonna elect Pierre an build that pipe!!!
Alberta is "Land Locked" good luck with that!
It's a waste.
Misleading title, this not about recycling, this is about shredding which is the ‘easy’ step. Discomforting to see also how they interact with black mass that is highly toxic.
Where have I seen that picture showing a tall pile of old batteries only with a different background before? In a competing pop up ads being offered by competing companies to people like policemen which are not marked properly as ads maybe?
Yeah right. Saviour of the world. 😂😂😂
The hidden waste and emissions behind an Electric Vehicle is insane. From the child/slave labour used to mine the cobalt in those batteries, to the factories in China, the electrical grid to keep these things charged, then the need to get rid of the car at the end of its life. These are by no means a 'green' solution
The not at all hidden waste and harm of fossil fuels is insane. At least metals can be recycled while it's impossible to recycle fuel once it has been burned in an ICE vehicle
It is not going to make it.
What a wasteful carbon unfriendly industry. No one even talks about the hydrogen fuel cell.

There’s a need for home battery to actually protect the grid.
And then the recycling of whole car is another story, I think the biggest factor that got into it are the paints on the metal frame.
If recycling can get rid of these paints on metal frame, basically all the metals are easy to recycle, cars are bigger than electronics there’s less concern of e-waste.
My advice for kids in Congo is just don’t go there if they felt like they didn’t have to, if it’s not kidnapped they should figure something out other than the mining. They really have to think for themselves if mining those things are what they wanted to do, it will literally kill them, I don’t think it’s worth the risk.
Don’t we have same materials somewhere else?
It is a great and basically the only way this EV miracle can work. Bravo to the next billionaire.
So does this mean the Congolese kids can take a break? I'm sure they'd love to hear they no longer need to work in those filthy conditions.
You have been using dictators oil without qualm and why suddenly have shame abusing abusing kids now
@@wsu8568 The fossil fuel industry quit using child slave laborers in the 1800's, tech companies are still doing it today. I have far less shame using fossil fuels than I ever would using cellphones, tablets, laptops or electric vehicles, regardless of the source.
Our???
This EV will be a nasty burden on Canada, we don't have the Hydro to power companies, street lights, air conditioning & heating, vehicles and equipment. Canada should make battery's for homes too, power outages when people (seniors) need heat or air conditioning (remember the near 1000 people who died in B.C. or did you forget).
Takes way too long to charge a battery in a ev car
And the electricity used to charge them, at least in the US is most likely coal burnt....
Then just don't buy one
@@derekwoodford9955 Actually "According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, most of the nation's electricity was generated by natural gas, nuclear energy, and coal in 2020." Notice how coal use is declining.
As to charging most of the time the car sits unused, all a great time to be recharging. So whether its takes 2 or 6hrs it doesn't matter as you sleep. And don't forget you don't have to fully charge the car to use it.
@@cfldriven "US is most likely coal burnt"
"most of the nation's electricity was generated by natural gas, nuclear energy, and coal in 2020." "
man, you people are dumb.
It takes me 10 seconds to plug my car in at night and 10 seconds to unplug in the morning. If you spend 10 minutes a week to go out of your way to fill your gas tank that adds up to 8 1/2 hours a year that you are spending at gas stations. Add to that the time for oil changes and other services. And don't forget the inefficiency of a gas engine. Only 20% of the gas you pay for is used to turn the wheels, the other 80% is wasted as heat energy.
"Decarbonization" is a death wish for our descendants. Just prior to the end of the last glacial cycle, CO2 dropped to 180 ppm. Biologists, commercial greenhouses, and farmers agree that plant biomass asphyxiates if CO2 drops below 180 ppm. It is demonstrable that the Industrial Age helped stall the Earth's progressive natural sequestration of CO2. Once gas and diesel are run out (or regulated out), we will need another method to maintain a safe and productive level of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Don't worry, with China's technology and industrial capabilities, this problem can be completely solved. Now there are six of the world's top ten power battery companies in China.
