Info Sheet: Electric Vehicle battery Disassembly

The EV battery Disassembly infosheet exposes the complex and often destructive process with proprietary tools required to disassemble a typical EV battery with cell-pack-module construction for repair, reuse, repurposing or material recovery. A host of recommendations are outlined ranging from streamlining access to the battery pack and modules with linear design and standardized components, reducing toxic substances for worker safety, universal access to technical manuals and proprietary tools, industry standards for battery refurbishment, and simplifying battery construction for disassembly.
