Re: Recycled battery risks
At this stage I don't think we are in a position to say what the costs of recycling battery packs will be in 20 or 50 years time. It may be as unaffordable as burning hydrocarbons, OTOH R&D may come up with an acceptably 'cheap' solution - stranger things have happened.
Once upon a time people seriously believed there would never be more than a dozen or so 'computers' in the world due to their vast costs - but then transistors were discovered, then integrated circuits, and look where we are now! Hmmm, maybe we should have thought that through, and quit while we were ahead?
Anyway, it's early days; with EVs we may be simply rehashing the same mistakes we made with ICE tech (we tend to be very slow learners), but we can't yet take that as a given.
