This battery recycling masterplan could make EVs live forever

Mercedes-Benz Concept CLA Class.

The Mercedes Concept CLA Class is just the sort of car that could not only take on the Tesla Model 3 if it becomes a reality, but could also feature a battery that is almost entirely made of recycled materials.

Mercedes-Benz wants to complete its plan for creating a greener, circular manufacturing process after building a new battery recycling plant in Kuppenheim, Germany. The automaker claims that, once it’s up to speed, the facility will be able to recycle up to 96% of the raw materials contained inside its electric car batteries.
