🔋 Breaking Battery Myths in Electric Mobility
When it comes to the use of batteries in electric mobility, prejudices abound. But how much of it holds true?
Let’s take a closer look at the two most prevalent myths surrounding batteries.
⚡ Short lifespan: A common concern is the short lifespan of batteries. But a look at reality tells a different story. Let’s stay on the road for now: Take BMW’s innovative approach during the production of the i3, for example. BMW Group envisioned a large-scale energy storage system to repurpose used batteries for renewable energy storage. Yet, even as i3 production phases out, the majority of vehicles are still operating on their original battery packs—leaving many of those planned storage spaces unused.
Batteries are more than durable; they’re the cornerstone of quiet, emission-free electric mobility, particularly in maritime applications.
♻️ It’s true that batteries must be treated as hazardous waste, but modern recycling technologies have transformed this challenge into an opportunity. Companies like cylib are leading the change, developing advanced recycling methods that recover valuable materials like lithium, nickel, and cobalt. These innovations, driven by strict EU regulations, not only reduce waste but also enable a sustainable circular economy by reusing key components.Compared to conventional disposal, these recycling processes reduce the environmental footprint by up to 30%.
📢 The bigger picture: batteries as energy storage systems have achieved remarkable advancements. Challenging outdated perceptions is essential.
