The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Why China Is Quietly Winning At EV Battery Recycling

Thanks to new techniques, some Chinese companies say they can recover 99.6% of the key battery materials.

If verified, that’s a remarkable achievement, and it surpasses the level the European Union plans to reach after the end of the decade and at much lower recycling volumes.

China’s biggest EV battery recycler is Guangdong Brunp Recycling Technology, a subsidiary of battery manufacturing giant CATL. The company says it has a fully automated recycling process that can handle 120,000 tons of waste batteries and is working to increase that capacity to 1 million tons. It says it has over 200 recycling locations in operation today and that it handles just over 50% of China’s EV battery recycling needs.

China Is Making 800-Mile EV Batteries. Here’s Why America Can’t Have Them

Chinese automaker Chery is gearing up for a fight with CATL and BYD in the solid-state battery race.

Chinese carmaker Chery Automobile claims to have developed a new type of solid-state battery technology that can more than double the driving range of electric vehicles, while also being incredibly safe under harsh conditions. But China’s new export controls mean this cutting-edge technology may never arrive in North America.

Chery is China’s fourth largest automaker in terms of sales volume and the country’s biggest vehicle exporter ahead of BYD in the first six months of 2025, as per Bloomberg Intelligence. The company produces fully electric models, plug-in hybrids and internal combustion vehicles under brands including Chery, Exeed, Omoda, Jetour and iCar. Now, foray into solid-state batteries means BYD and CATL have one extra competitor to race against.

The automaker said during last week’s Chery Global Innovation Conference that this battery uses a lithium manganese rich cathode and an “in-situ polymerized solid-electrolyte.”
