Electricity can be used to power all-electric vehicles (EV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV). These vehicles draw electricity from off-board electrical sources and store it in on-board batteries. PHEVs use electricity to improve fuel efficiency whereas EVs have no traditional fuel tank and therefore are the least polluting vehicle available in the world right now. Both light duty and heavy duty electric vehicles are now available in the marketplace.
Electric vehicles have lower fuel costs than diesel powered vehicles. The cost savings from maintenance of these vehicles is proven to be lower than maintenance costs on traditional vehicles.

Heavy-Duty Electric Vehicles
|
Light-duty and passenger vehicles are not the only ones who can run on electricity. Manufacturers such as Mitsubishi, Lion Electric Co., Proterra, and New Flyer make a range of electric buses and trucks, from Class 4 to Class 8.
Recharge time and fueling infrastructure looks a little bit different than that for light-duty vehicles, as do the batteries themselves. Contact us with any questions about electric heavy-duty vehicles or electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). |

Electric Vehicle Battery Recycling
|
The batteries found inside electric vehicles are made from lithium-ion. As EVs become more affordable and conventional, the production of these batteries increases. The rapid development of the batteries poses a sustainability problem, with batteries needing to be replaced every seven to ten years for light-duty vehicles and three to four for larger vehicles, such as buses. However, lithium-ion batteries cannot simply be thrown out.
Batteries must be recycled, and there are currently a range of programs that efficiently and properly recycle these vehicles’s batteries. Finding ways to recycle and reuse batteries can reduce the need for additional resource extraction, which is good for the environment and for human rights. |
|
Lithium-ion batteries are complex products with a range of recycling options. Much of the recycling process and design is still being developed, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. Currently, only about 5% of lithium-ion batteries that power various home electronics and other goods are recycled. This will only increase as electric vehicles continue to gain popularity. It has been estimated that as many as 11 million tons of used lithium-ion batteries could accumulate worldwide between now and 2030.
Organizations such as the ReCell Center are actively working to develop recycling practices. The Department of Energy “sees an opportunity to de-risk the recycling of lithium-ion batteries and future battery chemistries to help accelerate the growth of a profitable recycling market for spent EV and electronics batteries.”
