Lithium-ion batteries are efficient, compact, and have a long lifespan – all factors that enable electric vehicles (EVs), which are powered by these batteries, to be a great substitute for their gasoline counterpart. Transportation is a large contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. When the EV is retired, things get especially tricky.
