But at the same time, new energy vehicles still have many problems in battery safety, charging efficiency, etc. Based on this, the facts in this study are collected and analyzed on the battery
The agreed rules will cover the entire battery life cycle, from design to end-of-life and apply to all types of batteries sold in the EU: portable batteries, SLI batteries (supplying
Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 concerning batteries and waste batteries. WHAT IS THE AIM OF THE REGULATION? It aims to ensure that, in the future, batteries have a low carbon footprint, use minimal harmful substances, need fewer raw materials from non- European Union (EU) countries and are collected, reused and recycled to a high degree within the EU.
New high-performance battery chemistries are in development that do not rely on lithium, cobalt, or nickel. Instead, they leverage sets of more abundant materials that can be sourced from a variety of countries, including many friendly to U.S. interests. These alternative chemistries can include sodium-ion, liquid metal, sodium-sulfur, and zinc-ion
• Light means of transport (LMT) batteries is the first new category. • Electric vehicle (EV) batteries is the other new category and covers batteries >25 kg (no upper limit) to power wheeled vehicles in EU vehicle categories "M", "N" and "O"3. • Industrial battery category (e.g. energy and external storage, or batteries not covered by other categories). This distinction is
