French minister unveils electric cars in Tanzania
October 20 2021 ... The company launched its first two electric cars in 2018 taking advantage of used Toyota car recycling (deployed in Serengeti National Park and Mkomazi National Park, the Rhino Sanctuary) and since then the company has 9 electric cars at three different locations and a garage in Arusha. “The objective is to give a second life to vehicles and to use Renault recharging batteries (those which are no longer suitable for European cars) a second life, and to equip all safari vehicles,” ... Vehicle maintenance costs will be greatly reduced by converting vehicles to electric.

Study: Recycled Lithium Batteries as Good as Newly Mined
Cathodes made with novel direct-recycling beat commercial materials
15 Oct 2021 ... A new study by ... US Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC), and battery company A123 Systems, ... tested batteries with recycled NMC111 cathodes, the most common flavor of cathode containing a third each of nickel, manganese, and cobalt ... The recycled material showed a more porous microscopic structure that is better for lithium ions to slip in and out of. The result: batteries with an energy density similar to those made with commercial cathodes, but which also showed up to 53% longer cycle life ...
