I’m wondering where all of the batteries in these electric cars are going to go when their useful life is over.

To some enormously toxic recycle facility. Or, dumped in the desert someplace. Some probably in Irish Bayou off Hwy 11.

Not just that, but the battery production factories are toxic - Quebec has a huge problem with its facility.

======================================================= 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.

I got to be friends with a National Guard guy, when I was a contractor in Iraq, whose job in the US was at a hazmat disposal facility. He said that all the electric car batteries are nothing but toxic chemicals/elements that are a pain to dispose of. But libs don't care, because it's "clean" energy. Idiots.
