Audi and Volkswagen EV battery recycling get a boost in the U.S.A
13 Jul 2022|1,060 views
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (VWGoA) and battery recycling firm Redwood Materials, Inc. (Redwood) have announced a new collaboration to create a supply chain to recycle Audi and Volkswagen electric vehicle batteries in the U.S.A.
The new EV battery recycling collaboration will integrate prototype batteries from Volkswagen's research facilities such as the Battery Engineering Lab in Chattanooga. Additionally, Redwood will also work directly with dealers and Volkswagen facilities to identify end-of-life batteries and materials, and then safely package and transport them to its Nevada facilities.
Audi states that Redwood already recycles more than 6GWh of lithium-ion batteries in the state of Nevada, the equivalent of 60,000 EV batteries.
These batteries that come are composed of end-of-life consumer devices, battery production scrap and electric vehicle batteries, and represent the large majority of lithium-ion batteries recycled in North America.
Redwood then extracts raw materials such as cobalt, copper, nickel, and lithium, refines and remanufactures them into critical battery components, anode copper foil and cathode, and delivers those products back to domestic battery cell manufacturers.
Audi of America is aiming for 30% of its product portfolio in the U.S.A to consist of electrified vehicles by 2025, including fully electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Additionally, Audi is working to achieve CO2 neutrality across the full life cycle of its vehicles by 2050.
The Volkswagen Group brands meanwhile, plan to introduce more than 25 new battery electric vehicles to U.S.A consumers through 2030. VWGoA also aims to begin establishing battery recycling capabilities for current and future vehicles in North America now.
