The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is necessary to decrease climate-changing emissions. These materials are primarily supplied through two sources: 1) newly mined or 2) recovered by recycling batteries already in circulation. This is in stark contrast to a future without high recycling rates. Recycling has many benefits.

But it shouldn’t be surprising that the transition to electric vehicles might not be a straight line up, up and up. Automakers pushed back, concerned the rules were too stringent.
