TSLA's 8-year warranty on their EV batteries... produced in partnership with Panasonic (PCRFY), will begin to expire this year for Tesla's original Model S customers! Later this year, TSLA and PCRFY for the very first time in history will begin to receive back thousands of spent lithium-ion battery cells!

Besides TSLA and PCRFY, the only other Tier 1 EV Battery producers are Samsung SDI (KRX: 006400) and LG Chem (KRX: 051910). Samsung SDI is up by ₩24,000 or 8.45% today to ₩308,000 per share and is now up by a stunning 30.5% year-to-date in 2020!

The combined market cap of the Big 4 EV Battery producers: Tesla, Panasonic, Samsung SDI, and LG Chem finished 2019 at $125 billion. Currently, we are only 5 weeks in 2020 and already their combined market cap has increased by $103 billion or 82.4% to $228 billion! Between now and year-end we expect all four companies to invest big into EV Battery Recycling technologies.
We expect the recycling of EV Batteries to become one of the most talked about issues in the mainstream media leading up to the 2020 U.S. Presidential election. China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has recently set new regulations requiring that electric vehicle batteries being recycled must achieve recoveries of 98% nickel, cobalt and manganese and 85% lithium. We are only aware of one single publicly traded company with patented EV Battery Recycling technologies that are already reaching China's extremely strict mandates!
Practically every other EV Battery Recycling company uses smelting, which only returns about 50-60% of the Cobalt and very little of the other metals with no recovery of lithium.
