Battery lifecycle strategy, not chemistry breakthroughs, drives EV adoption

Wright argues that incremental battery improvements and infrastructure investment—not technological breakthroughs—will determine EV adoption rates, and that circular economy strategies for battery repurposing and reuse are more transformative than mining new materials. She positions staged battery reuse as the key competitive advantage, fundamentally reshaping how industries should approach resource management.
