The solution to America’s growing energy demand might already be on our roads. As millions of EV batteries retire from vehicles, many still have years of useful life left. Redwood Energy redeploys them as grid-scale storage today, powering data centers and strengthening the grid,

Cybertruck, quite literally, driving circularity! We had some fun putting the Cybertruck to work hauling 10,000 lbs of recycled nickel and lithium products from our NV Battery Materials Campus. Our team is inventing and building the US battery supply chain one process and

Cathode accounts for >50% of a battery cell’s cost but today, manufacturing is based entirely outside of North America. Redwood is changing that! We’re building a huge (Airbus A380 for scale) cathode plant with more than 1 million EVs/year of capacity at our Nevada Campus.

By the end of 2022, @PanasonicNA will include Redwood’s copper foil, produced from recycled materials, back into new battery production at the Gigafactory. This will be the first time batteries will be recycled, remanufactured and returned to the same factory in a closed loop.

Introducing Redwood Energy: our new business that repurposes second-life battery packs into low-cost, fast, scalable energy storage. As AI and electrification accelerate electricity demand—and traditional grid expansion struggles to keep up—we’re putting EV battery packs back to

Each year, we receive 6 GWh of lithium-ion batteries, the equivalent of 60,000+ electric vehicles. The majority of li-ion batteries recycled in North America today come to Redwood, from large EV packs to small consumer devices. Help us build a closed loop: redwoodmaterials.com/recyclewithus

It only takes 166 smart phones to recycle enough cobalt to build a new EV battery. Yet, only ~17% of the 150 million devices Americans discard each year, are recycled. At Redwood, we’re helping to change this by collecting and recycling lithium-ion batteries and rechargeable

Happy Earth Day! Redwood has recycled more than 100 million pounds of batteries—equal to 4.5 Eiffel Towers or 81 Airbus A380s — and we’re just getting started!

We've been hard at work the past few months on our Battery Materials Campus where we'll recycle & manufacture anode copper foil & cathode in an end-to-end process. We'll supply materials for 1M+ EVs/year, scaling production of these critical products in the US for the first time!

Battery Materials Campus 1, under construction in Northern Nevada, will be producing product by the end of this year that will be returned to Gigafactory 1 via @panasonic. This truly closed loop site encompasses recycling, refining, and remanufacturing and has no waste streams.

Last week, we unveiled Redwood Energy: our new business that repurposes EV battery packs into low-cost, fast, and scalable energy storage. We just built a 12 MW and 63 MWh microgrid — the largest second-life battery deployment in the world and the largest microgrid in North

We can't recycle our way to 500% demand (we'll need to mine more) But each year, we access more end-of-life batteries and, within our lifetime, we'll reach an inflection point where we'll no longer turn over an ICE for an EV (rather EV→EV). Then we can rely on recycling, alone.

America runs on critical minerals—cobalt, lithium, nickel & copper. Redwood produced 60,000 MT of materials in Nevada last year and now we’re starting production in South Carolina, adding 20,000 MT more to strengthen America’s energy resilience, tech leadership & national
