Electric vehicles (EVs) have been a part of history for more than a century, but only since the late 1990s real development for mass production has begun. This technological development was born out of the need to achieve a greater degree of environmental sustainability in the transportation sector. This has not only involved cars and the passenger transport sector in general but has also moved the industrial vehicle sector in the same research direction. Over these years, many problems have arisen regarding EVs, some of which have been solved while others are still in the process of resolution. One of these problems is the management of EV batteries once they have reached the end of their useful life.
