| description | Currently, battery manufacturers face many challenges keeping up with the growing demand for electric vehicle (EV) batteries. This high demand comes from two main sources: growing battery demand for newly manufactured EVs and battery replacement demand for already-on-the-road EVs. Circularity through different end-of-life strategies can help alleviate the current electric EV battery supply and demand gap while tackling accumulating waste challenges. In particular, remanufacturing has shown to be a promising value recovery strategy for spent EV batteries to be reused for automotive applications affordably and sustainably. Hence, a mathematical model is developed to study an independent remanufacturing (IR) supply chain for EV battery replacement demand intended for already on-the-road EVs. The model considers remanufacturers’ self-sufficiency, incoming spent battery quality levels, and rush orders. Using the developed model, a numerical case study, based on data for California, is implemented. The case study results suggest that remanufacturing EV batteries to meet the demand for already on-the-road EVs is profitable and incorporating rush order deliveries could be economically viable. Furthermore, while both self-sufficient and non-self-sufficient remanufacturing configurations have shown to be economically viable, both have tradeoffs that must be considered. |
