Comment

The useful life of those large EV batteries is limited, generally from 15 to 20 years, but none of the recycling plans are public.

With no plan currently in place to recycle lithium products when they reach their end, the world could literally run out of these exotic minerals in a few short years.

An estimated 11 million tons of spent lithium-ion batteries will flood our markets by 2025, without systems in place to handle them.

When and how will the recycling and disposal of spent EV batteries be addressed by the automobile manufacturers, and made public?
