Electric car makers ready to jump into battery recycling amid stuttering supply chains

Not enough batteries for recycle to be a significant supply source.

If electric cars sales increase exponentially as planned (and as they have so far), recycled batteries are not going to be a large % of the supply anyway.

And if renewable energy storage is REALLY going to be implemented with batteries, the battery supply will have to increase by ~100 fold over the next decade ...

Which is why I think there ought to be more R&D in electricity to hydrogen (and methane) - to balance the risk and avoid supply bottlenecks.
