What’s the destiny of EV batteries when they retire in the next 10 years?

Millions of electric car batteries are expected to retire in the next decade. So how are they dealt with after they come to the end of their lifetime? In this week’s GreenBites, we will look into how startups find ways to recycle metal parts from any batteries. We will also share a gruesome claim of stranded dugongs in Indonesia, a vulnerable marine species to extinction on the IUCN list, reportedly being cut up for traditional medicine, as well as how climate change threatens to squeeze out Indonesia’s medicinal plants.
