The Environmental Performance of Traction Batteries for Electric Vehicles from a Life Cycle Perspective

The aim of this review article is the analysis of the results obtained from the scientific literature concerning all the phases that make up the life cycle of traction batteries for electric vehicles, in order to evaluate the associated environmental impact. In this regard, some scientific articles...
