“ Batteries are going to become a more and more integral part of our transport ecosystems ”

ORRAL NADJARI FOUNDER AND CEO , BRITISHVOLT
As much as we advocate the need for full recycling , the current timeframes for success seem a little optimistic to us . Maybe towards the end of 2027 we ’ ll see some real leaps in progress in the field , more development is needed as the ‘ ideal ’ recycling solutions aren ' t quite there yet .”
Adding further to his thoughts for the next decade , Nadjari says “ Technology will eventually lower manufacturing costs , improve efficiency , drive adoption and create a truly circular economy . That doesn ’ t just benefit industry , it benefits society as a whole . That ’ s the entire point of the EV revolution . The manufacturing industry will be benefitted by the new ‘ green ’ industrial revolution , we are going to need a lot of batteries to make this really work .”
