Understand the life cycle of an EV battery

What material and energy use, environmental and social impacts, and EU regulations apply to the different life stages of an electric vehicle battery? To answer this question, Palsa & Pulk has created an interactive visual on the life cycle of an EV battery together with students from the Master's program in sustainable development at Utrecht University. The visual is now freely accessible to all on Palsa & Pulk's website.
