I’m wondering where all of the batteries in these electric cars are going to go

======================================================= lead–acid automotive batteries (nearly 90% are recycled)

Silver oxide batteries can be recycled to recover the mercury.

To prevent a future shortage of cobalt, nickel, and lithium and to enable a sustainable life cycle of these technologies, recycling processes for lithium batteries are needed. These processes have to regain not only cobalt, nickel, copper, and aluminum from spent battery cells, but also a significant share of lithium.

In other words, battery recycling is just starting and has a long way to go, especially for Lithium batteries.
