Lack Of Standardization Leads To Complexity In Battery Dismantling

Wide distribution of very different EV pack architectures leads to complexity in terms of uniform battery dismantling strategies More complex or tedious dismantling processes constitute additional costs Even within similar battery architectures, differences may exist in terms of how to safely handle battery packs that have aged differently The low volumes of dismantled batteries have led this to be a mostly manual process to date However, several European projects have been started to look into automated battery disassembly, such as CarEService, DemoRec, and DemoBat The use of image recognition software, ML, and AI are deemed as quintessential to maximize the capabilities of automated battery disassembly systems
