In electric and hybrid vehicles Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs), batteries play a central role and are in the spotlight of scientific community and public opinion.
Deploying battery electric vehicles (BEVs) is one of the main initiatives to decarbonise and reduce emissions from the transport sector, as they have no tailpipe emissions and can significantly reduce impacts on CC when charged with electricity from renewable energy sources (RESs) (Cox et al., 2018; Koroma et al., 2020).However, the environmental impact of

In essence, an in-depth assessment of the sustainability of battery life cycles serves as an essential compass that directs us toward a cleaner and more sustainable energy landscape.
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is important for evaluating the environmental impacts of LIBs throughout their lifecycle, from production to end-of-life (EOL) management. The prevailing consensus is that battery reuse reduces life cycle environmental impacts compared to immediate recycling 31, while there is a study presenting contrasting evidence 32.
The life cycle begins with the battery being deployed into a vehicle and moves on to the dealership, repairs, second life, and recycling.
The complete lifecycle impacts of battery systems may be difficult to account for. While the majority of LCSA frameworks take into consideration the economic and environmental costs associated with the production, use, and disposal of batteries, they may not account for the full social impacts of battery systems.
At the beginning of the life cycle, batteries undergo a sequential process of assembling raw materials into cells, followed by the formation of modules and ultimately packs. This process encompasses the inputs of materials, electricity, and heat, with a more detailed description available in Supplementary Note 2.
