Porsche explores EV battery recycling tech to power its new cars

"With the help of innovative recycling processes, we strive to increase our independence from volatile and geopolitically unstable raw material markets," explained Porsche board member Barbara Frenkel. In the first of three phases, used electric vehicle (EV) batteries are shredded by powerful machines and processed into a granulate mixture called 'black mass.' Abhimanyu has been a trusted voice in the science, technology, transport innovations, startup and AI spaces for more than a decade at several global outlets, including three and a half years as the managing editor at TNW.
