Transportation of electric vehicle lithium-ion batteries at end-of-life: A literature review

The market for electric vehicles (EVs) has grown exponentially over the past decade, largely driven by ambitious sales targets in regions around the world. At end-of-life (EoL), these batteries must be managed properly to maximize reuse and recycling, which requires an efficient and safe collection and transportation system; however, the logistics of transporting EoL batteries are rarely examined in depth in scholarly research. In this paper, researchers from UC Davis conduct a critical review of the peer-reviewed literature on EV traction battery reuse and recycling to assess how transportation is represented.
