What Happened: The acquisition is part of the battery recycling startup’s expansion plans in line with President Joe Biden administration’s drive to increase the adoption of electric vehicles and boost domestic battery recycling and supply chain efforts, the TechCrunch report noted.

为什么这很重要施特劳贝尔于2019年离开特斯拉，专注于红木业务，致力于钴、锂、镍和铜等元素的回收和循环利用。由于越来越多的人转向电动汽车，对金属的需求正在上升。
