EV Battery Reuse and Recycling Hub Feasibility Study
Long Beach
Summary
Long Beach could become the first California city to close the EV battery loop locally, capturing spent batteries from port electrification instead of shipping them 400 miles to Nevada. A feasibility study costing $25,000-$50,000 would examine revenue of $860,000 to $3.5 million a year and 10-15 West Side jobs.

Impact analysis
A study would cost $25,000-$50,000, but a hub could bring in $860,000 to $3.5 million a year and help offset budget deficits.
West Long Beach residents could gain jobs, and the city could capture revenue currently lost to out-of-state battery processing.
