Abstract The electric vehicle (EV) market has witnessed significant growth and transformation over the past few years, driven by increasing environmental concerns, government incentives, and advancements in EV technology. As the EV market continues to grow, so does the concern over the environmental impact of EV lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), especially their end-of-life (EOL) disposal. To reduce the environmental impact of EVs, the formation of a circular economy through reuse and recycling of EV LIBs has been suggested and researched. This work is a review on the status of EV batteries including the global market, proposed reuse, recycling process, and environmental issues linked with this extremely fast-growing industry.
