Abstract:
The rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has brought increased attention to the environmental implications of their battery systems. This paper presents a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) of electric vehicle batteries, examining their environmental impact from raw material extraction through end-of-life management. The study evaluates various battery chemistries, manufacturing processes, and recycling strategies to provide insights into the overall sustainability of EV battery systems. Through comparative analysis and quantitative assessment, this research identifies key environmental hotspots and proposes strategies for minimizing the ecological footprint of EV batteries throughout their lifecycle.
