British tech company Altilium has joined forces with Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) to create the UK’s first electric car battery cells made from recycled materials. The breakthrough is being showcased at this year’s Cenex Expo, an event that’s highlighting low-carbon vehicle innovation.
The project, backed by government funding through the Advanced Propulsion Centre, shows that electric vehicle batteries don’t always need freshly mined metals. Instead, materials from old EV batteries can be reused to make new ones – cutting emissions and reducing our reliance on imports from overseas.
