Tesla confirmation is developing 'unique battery recycling system'

Electrek reported, tesla this week confirmed that they are developing a & other; Unique battery recycling system & throughout; 。 The company believes that the system in the long run will bring them & other; Significant savings & throughout; 。

tesla yesterday released a new & other; Impact report & throughout; , they are expressed in the report in the impact of its products and operations on the environment.

a question is: we often hear & other; At the end of the service life of the tesla car, how will you deal with battery? Fossil fuel and lithium ion battery's biggest difference is that fossil fuels is the power of the disposable use, and the materials used in the lithium battery is can be recycled. After the oil out from the ground, humans use it to refine chemicals, in the process of burning it will eliminate harmful emissions into the atmosphere, and these emissions cannot be recycled. , by contrast, battery material is placed inside the battery core, after the completion of a life cycle, it can constantly being recycled.

modern, Renault and BMW car manufacturers previously had made it clear that they will be in the energy storage system using the old battery, rather than the old battery pack recovery after using it again in the new battery pack. Now some car companies have begun to use the old battery.

but for tesla, the current has little to scrap vehicle fixed number of year, so they can't get too many old batteries, but they are using some other way to get the old battery, such as research and development with battery, battery production, quality control and service channel batteries, etc. The company of the battery recycling.

the company said that they are currently in third party recycling companies for cooperation: & other; At present, we are working with a third-party recycler from all over the world to cooperate and recycling service life has been to the life of the battery pack, and extract which is still valuable materials. Our recycling partners and we work together, make sure that the battery pack of no value or cannot recover materials could be properly processed. ”

but this is only a temporary solution for the company, tesla said they were in Nevada Gigafactory 1 plant develop a & other; Unique battery recycling system & throughout; 。

the company wrote in its impact report & other; Within the Gigafactory 1 project, tesla is developing a unique battery recycling system, the system will be produced at the same time responsible for battery production process of waste, and the processing of waste batteries work. Using this system, lithium cobalt and key elements such as recycling can maximize efficiency, and it can also used metal recycling batteries, such as copper, aluminum and steel. All these materials will be in the most suitable for recycling in the form of new battery materials production. ”

the current there are several companies on the market are the key elements in the attempt to battery core recovery work. Such as American Manganese, the company announced recently that they realized the lithium ion battery cathode material of high percentage extraction.

tesla believe that their own battery recycling system will be able to bring significant cost savings for them. The company said: & other; Gigafactory 1 of the battery recycling loop provides an efficient solution, let people reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and energy to realize the circulation, to recycle discarded batteries. From an economic point of view, the system in the long run can bring us significant cost savings, since the cost of large-scale recycling batteries, will be far below the purchase and transportation cost of new materials. ”

in particular solution of advantages, including several major characteristics: first, the high grade protection and anti-corrosion, efficient heat dissipation, ensure the inverter to run for a long time; Second, the PID active at night repair, enhanced the capacity; Third, communication terminal one-click installation, simple operation, a key code access monitoring platform, to realize information fully grasp; In addition, the APP real-time control of the operating condition of scattered points stand, support remote fault processing and parameter Settings.

what's interesting is that tesla's co-founder and CTO JB straw bale ( 巴顿施特劳贝尔说) Two years ago to set up a material recycling start-ups, widely seen as the company is linked to tesla.
