ICA
India,
said,
“Copper,
though
just
4%
of
the
total
weight
in
an
electric
vehicle,
is
integral
to
its
safety
and
functionality.
It
is
the
unsung
hero
of
modern
transportation.
Furthermore,
copper
is
endlessly
recyclable,
ensuring
that
end-of-life
(EoL)
scrap
is
ready
for
reuse
without
any
loss
in
quality.
This
reinforces
its
role
as
a
sustainable
and
key
material
in
ensuring
the
safety,
reliability,
and
efficiency
of
electric
vehicles-powering
the
future
of
mobility.”
