The rapid rise of electric vehicles could lead to a mountain of battery waste

[roadcat]

Electric vehicle batteries are already being recycled, in a manner of speaking. They get diverted to powering other goods such as golf carts, warehouse vehicles, electric bikes, electric tools, and storage devices. But even then, they will eventually become useless and will be a problem as waste. A big problem.

As for Bloomberg, there aren't enough batteries made to power all the cars he wants made. That's why Elon Musk and Tesla are making their own batteries; there weren't enough batteries worldwide to supply the number of Teslas he was building. Other car makers are running into the same problem, not enough batteries in the supply chain. And none of them are thinking of recycling as Tesla already is doing.

Just like tires, they will be filling landfills. They eventually have to go somewhere.
