Residual values for EVs continue to slide. And here's the thing. Next year's EV stock coming off 3-years lease contracts in Europe will be around 28% higher. Will the adoption rate among private buyers keep up with that? autovista24.autovistagroup.com/news/mmu-bev...

Speaking about low residual values again. Because somebody needs to. Not ”despite” we like EVs, but because we want the market to succeed. And it’s not working. www.linkedin.com/posts/hanser...

EV batteries are reused today and will continue to be reused. But in a fast-growing market and with batteries living long lives in the vehicles, the business cases of reuse and repurposing are and will always be challenging. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

The EV market is not healthy. The proof is right in front of us – on the used car lots. Car makers need to more Apple and less...car makers. And the battery and mtrl/recycling industry has to take responsibility for its own situation. #battchat www.circularenergystorage.com/post/why-low...

Our new Battery Recycling Report has been published. A short writeup about it here with link to our Executive Summary: www.linkedin.com/posts/hanser... #battchat

Our new report is out. We spent several months digging as deep as we could to understand how long EVs will stay on the roads, how many of them that will be exported and how many batteries that will be reused. Now we have a very good understanding. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

An interesting article about people's perception about battery swapping – with my comments about why battery swapping might be a solution to drive up residual values. And why low residual values is threatening the entire EV and battery industry. www.linkedin.com/posts/hanser... #battchat

A comment on Redwood Materials’ move into second life. To be involved in repurposing indeed makes a lot of sense for recyclers. Especially if they have an aggressive strategy. But there are many out there who wants to get a piece of the value pie. ⬇️🔧🔋🚗 #battchat www.linkedin.com/posts/hanser...

In the whole battery lifecycle recycling generates the least. There is more value in: 🔋 Use it well 🛠️ Maintain it 🔁 Reuse + repurpose it That’s where the jobs and returns can come from. And yes—it makes recycling stronger too. #BatteryLifecycle #EVs www.circularenergystorage.com/post/from-ba...

There’s no feedstock shortage in battery recycling—just too much capacity chasing too few batteries. This was always going to happen. www.circularenergystorage.com/post/from-po...

An economy can be circular even if the circles aren't located in the same market. Essentially that is what always happened with mobile electronics. But it has consequences. www.linkedin.com/posts/hanser...

As China's EV industry races toward world dominance, the rest of the world is busy putting up obstacles to its own competitiveness. This + notes about our updated recycler database, prices of used batteries and new subscription options in our news. circularenergystorage-online.com/so/59PPiOycj...

First in the wild🦌🇦🇹. Will be a very intersting month and coming Q. #teslamodely

52.5% revenue growth Every car maker must ask: What are we doing in this market and how do we ensure we remain relevant in the next 5 years? Battery companies, on the other hand, must ask: What are the chances that other car makers can actually succeed in doing so? www.reuters.com/business/aut...

This really captures the big difference of an industry in full swing and a nascent one. While Chinese cell makers every year introduce higher C rates, lower cost, higher specific energy etc, all backed up with clear data, European cell makers remains at ”we will soon make cells”.

With the US now voting with Russia, Belarus and N Korea at the UN, this is a good time to read or re-read the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. Russia, UK *and US* made clear commitments to Ukraine in exchange for giving up its nuclear weapons. Six bullet points, read them. treaties.un.org/doc/Publicat...

If the European automotive industry doesn't think that people want to buy EVs – why would the battery industry believe that car makers will buy batteries? www.circularenergystorage-online.com/so/3ePKTvwzo...

It's 2025 and new EVs in the streets. Spotted the first in Macan in Vienna a few weeks ago. Last week I visited the Porsche store in Mayfair. £104K for this one which makes the Taycan cheap. My neighbours couldn't resist though.

Love that (part of) the Hungarian team in skiing took their Ampera to the Ski Championships in Saalbach. In fact Saalbach was quite EV dense, maybe reflecting the wealth of the audience...

It’s 2025! Time for delivery!

No, I didn't know. Our view of EV markets is driven by new-sales statistics, but used EVs play an equally important role. Hungary is an important production location for (Chinese) EVs - having lots of used EVs here, and consequently soon also some used batteries, makes closing the loop easier.

Freedom for me ⚡️💨☀️ On my way to 🇭🇺

"Freedom is the roar of one man’s engine, and the silence of another's". EVs as many people see them. As an alternative. Makes sense that this is how car makers also view the market. A good reminder when forecasting EV volumes the next 5 years. 📺 🏈 🏟️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjKM...
