Japan
Japan has developed a method to recover up to 90% of lithium from used EV batteries, which could be a major breakthrough.
Infact verdict: Mixed (59/100).
The claim that Japan has developed a method to recover up to 90% of lithium from used EV batteries is supported by multiple sources, including a high-reliability source, Nikkei Asia, which confirms the development by Japan's JERA. This suggests a significant advancement in recycling technology. However, the claim that this method could be a major breakthrough is an opinion and cannot be factually verified. It is subjective and depends on future developments and impacts.
