## Caption

“Black mass” sounds like a superhero villain.

It’s actually the material mix that could help make EV batteries more circular.

In this clip from Auto Collabs at Public Policy Day 2026, Brian Skalovsky (Cox Automotive) explains how end-of-life batteries can be processed into “black mass” (nickel, cobalt, manganese, carbon) and then refined into materials that can go back into new battery production.

Full episode is live at the link in our bio if you want the deeper breakdown on EV battery repair, recycling capacity, and what needs to happen next.
