Two new reports: the used battery price reset, and the case against a black mass export ban

Two new reports are now on CES Online.

Our inaugural CES Used EV Battery Price Monitor shows how six years of dismantler prices reveal a structural reset in the used EV battery market, and what it means for owners, dismantlers, repurposers, recyclers, OEMs and investors.

Critical for whom? is our comment on the US black mass export ban and RECHARGE's proposal for Europe — why the constraint is demand rather than export, and who would pay for a domestic-only rule.
