Evaluating Remanufacturability of Electric Vehicle Batteries

The demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is increasing worldwide, and with mandatory recycling of End-of-life batteries, interest in remanufacturing used batteries is also growing. The product structure and physical properties of batteries, determined during the design process, are critical factors in the feasibility, profitability, and environmental impact of battery remanufacturing. This study presents a model to evaluate the remanufacturability of EV batteries from economic and environmental perspectives by integrating considerations of battery design, the quantity and quality of recoverable used batteries, and market demand for remanufactured batteries.
