Over one-third of the people think that the Americans do not understand that the recycled batteries for the making newer electric vehicle batteries. Only a few of the Americans have an understanding that the critical materials in this can be recycled over without the loss of the performance. This is a major blow to the market which prides itself on the recyclability of the product.
There are many myths which are prevailing for the electric vehicles which are stopping the growth of the market. The market experts are of the opinion that the myths and misconceptions about the electric vehicles and in particular about the recycling of electric vehicles has been hampering the industry. They feel that while the industry has been making great progress in terms of efficiency and the cost-effectiveness of the recycling of lithium-ion battery but these are only false narratives about the Electric vehicles which continue to go on. They are changing this by creation of an infrastructure which is going to make it unthinkable for letting the battery to go to dust as they are way too valuable.
