There is no doubt that battery electric cars are not perfect, Julie is correct that virtually every piece of a lithium ion battery can be recycled. Its also true that batteries no good enough for cars can be used for homes, factories etc. The batteries being produced by Tesla will out live the cars by many years. Tesla are nearing producing a 1,000,000 mile battery, yes they are.
However it is very likely that battery technology will change fairly soon, solid state and various other technologies are getting very close to market arrival and should be with us within a few years. In the mean time battery costs are roumered to be within touching distance of $100 pkwh. This is the price where ICE and Bev’s become the same to produce.

They are happy to keep quite and take their yearly backhander worth millions each year.com
