92% Reuse of Raw Materials in Battery Pack
Our battery factories have already begun implementing an in-house, closed-loop recycling system that will ensure 100% of Tesla batteries received are recycled and up to 92% of their raw materials are used.
92% Reuse of Raw Materials in Battery Pack
Lithium only accounts for roughly 1.5% of the full battery pack weight. Additionally, iron phosphate battery packs contain no cobalt or nickel. In addition to our own cell manufacturing operations, we’re currently using cells from four different suppliers with three different battery chemistries. Page 101
