Tesla’s European Electric Car Battery Recycling information

Tesla Motors as it announced the launch of its Europe-wide laptop battery recycling program for tired battery packs last month.t may be the largest battery pack available in any electric car on the road today.
Compared to some other electric car battery packs, Tesla’s 52-kilowatt-hour packs aren’t destined to be used in a battery backup system for a computer server farm or Solar power project.They used a series of processes, the spent Dell Inspiron 1545 Battery  packs are turned into an alloy metal that contains some of the battery’s constituent components, including cobalt and nickel.Once in the form of an alloy, the valuable cobalt can be extracted and used to make lithium cobalt oxide – a major component in many lithium-ion batteries.
The processes form part of a closed-loop system, where spent lithium ion batteries enter and compounds ready to be used in new batteries exit.
Umicore and Tesla claim their battery recycling technology will save about 70 percent of CO2 emissions of lithium-ion Dell Inspiron 1525 Battery  at the recovery stage.In the future, Tesla hopes the processes can be further refined, allowing further so-called secondary raw materials to be recovered.

This is a very shocking news to many people.If this is true that means the Tesla battery pack is basically worthless once capacity drops too much.No second life for less critical purposes, just the scrapyard. Since capacity is expected to drop to 70% after 5 years and 50 thousand miles and replacement cost was stated to be $36k in 2009 that would boil down to Dell inspiron 1545 battery cost of $0.64 per mile in case of no residual value of the old pack. you can make mor information from website buy-laptop-battery.org or laptop-battery.net.au.
We really hope there is any truth in recent rumours spread by ex Tesla’s Martin Eberhard that Tesla’s battery cost could get as low as $200/KWH.So the anti-EV group’s biggest form of artillery has just been, well, recycled.
