South Carolina EV battery recycling plant could salvage parts for a million cars a year
plans to build an EV battery recycling plant on the outskirts of Charleston, South Carolina. The roughly 600-acre facility will break"end-of-life" batteries down to their raw metals and rebuild them as the anodes and cathodes that are crucial to EVs. The parts should support up to 1 million EVs per year. That could not only reduce waste, but reduce the costs and risks associated with importing those components from overseas.
The plant will reportedly amount to a $3.5 billion investment that includes 1,500 jobs. Like Redwood's Nevada campus, the Charleston hub will rely solely on clean energy and all-electric operations. The company claims its approach lowers CO2 emissions for producing the battery components by about 80 percent compared to the output from the usual Asian supply chain.
Construction should start for the South Carolina plant in the first quarter of 2023. The first recycling process should be ready by the end of that year, Redwood says. The company plans to scale afterward.You can disable notifications at any time in your settings menu.
