Can electric vehicle batteries be recycled?

View descriptionShare

What happens to an electric vehicle battery at the end of its life? If we can’t recycle them, are they really that good for the planet?

In this episode, Cosmos journalist Ellen Phiddian recycles her batteries at the local library and ponders the death of an EV battery. Joined by Australian Battery Recycling Initiative CEO Katherine Hole and Professor Leanne Wiseman, they discuss the ins and outs of recycling all batteries–big and small.

This episode was produced by Jacinta Bowler and edited by Helen Karakulak. Theme music by Will Berryman.
