We dive into how the industry converts dead EV batteries into 'black mass,' a concentrated mix of lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese. From safe disassembly and inert shredding to hydrometallurgy that recovers 95–99% of metals with far less energy than smelting, this episode explains the new, sustainable supply chain powering the future of energy tech.
