Porsche produces battery cells using 100% recycled cathode materials in recycling pilot

Porsche Automobil Holding SE reported a battery recycling milestone at Porsche, producing cells using cathode material made entirely from recycled metals. Pilot cells use recycled lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese recovered from Porsche high-voltage batteries; operational testing is underway under real-world conditions. Since May 2026, end-of-life batteries from Porsche Centers in Germany have been recycled via a water-based process with partner cylib. Recovered materials are tracked in a dedicated account; supply for new battery cell production is targeted to start in 2028. Program aims to support a closed-loop battery supply chain, improving raw-material resilience and reducing reliance on primary sources.
