Abstract The growth of the battery powered vehi' ie r.:arket wth lead to an iacreaaiug amount of End at Life (EoL) electric vehicle battery oystem (EVBSs) in the future. Although pointed alit as a future challenge by research as well as industry, the analysis and design of EoL traction batteries' recycling networks have not been conducted extensively. Existing quantitative optimization models do not contain dynamic characteristics that are of importance for a growing market. We present a dynamic EoL battery reverse supply chain optimization model that allows planning mei multiple periods and multiple supply chain layers while including capacity expansions of disassembling centers and recycling plants. The model is applied to a case study of an original equipment manufacmrer (OEM) of battery electric vehicles that handles all EoL recycling activities for its batteries in a single stakeholder driven network in uennany. The average EoL costs per EVBS were estimated to decrease by over 35% from 2030 to 2044 due to using larger processing facilities that benefit from economy of scale and lower transportation costs because more locations exist. The network change is driven by the growth of Eol EVBS supply.
