In order to cut down its dependency on increasing import bills of oil, India has to reduce down its consumption of oil, and Electric vehicles (EV) running on rechargeable batteries can be a good option. The nature of EV batteries, which contains a considerable amount of rare metals like lithium, cobalt, and nickel, necessitates battery repurposing and recovery in the long run. Lithium, cobalt, and nickel reserves are concentrated in a few countries and this poses a serious challenge to India. The present paper tries to depict the chemistry of these batteries and the solution to challenges posed by electric vehicle batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries. Nickel, Cadmium
