@Nessussus that's great insight. I recall reading a paper about using magnetic fields to enhance performance of some EV battery cells.

There is so much research into new, innovative ways, to build a better battery and increase performance. I have no doubt that the total carbon footprint of EVs will continue to decrease. Smaller batteries, lighter weight, increased range, faster charging. All good things.

Can you recommend any relevant papers about EV battery recycling? I'd be interested to learn more about that process.
