How we'll keep all those toxic, expensive materials from going to waste.

This is the big snag with EVs (as with solar panels and wind turbines): how much does a battery really cost if you factor in recycling and environmental damages? (Sorry about the slideshow format.)

    good question.

    I think that you will find that vehicle batteries become unsuitable for locomotion far quicker than a phone battery becomes unsuitable for a phone. But i dont have any real proof.

    I will note, that there are a bunch of written-off cars that have their batteries on the second hand market, that is another avenue for re-using batteries.
