Abstract
The aim of this article is to provide a detailed process map description of the reverse supply chain for
electric vehicle batteries. In particular the main processing options of remanufacturing, repurposing
and recycling. This will be achieved by a qualitative approach in which the main stakeholders are
interviewed in order to provide a detailed picture at the operational level of the main processes and
decisions involved in the end-of-life reverse supply chain for electric vehicle batteries. The focus of
this study is on the repurposing end-of-life option which extends the lifetime of the battery pack in a
different industry or application such as storage for intermittent renewable energy sources. Along
with an estimation of future electric vehicle end-of-life capacity this will enable estimates of the
amount and timing of battery capacity that will be available for repurposing for renewable energy
applications.
