Concept paper due 7 Feb | Electric Drive Vehicle Battery Recycling and Second Life Applications

DOE

This FOA supports innovative technologies and processes that reduce the cost of lithium battery recycling to achieve scale-up and profitability, and specifically seeks applications to address the recycling of EV batteries to support the establishment of a robust domestic critical materials supply chain. The activities funded under this FOA include projects that reduce the costs associated with the transport, disassembly, and preprocessing of EOL EV batteries for battery recycling and that demonstrate the recycling of plastic EV battery accessory components. The two topic areas are:

• Improving the economics of transportation, dismantling, and preprocessing of electric drive vehicle batteries (20% cost share required)
• Recycling of electric drive vehicle battery accessory components (50% cost share required)
