Sleepy's pushing the ev, but doesn't have a clue of a plan for dumping them lithium batteries. Dumping them is more hazardous than the burying of nuclear waste. The Bolivian lithium mines will waste south america. Sleepy's administration and plan is promoting more hurt to our earth's environment than any administration before it.
You really don't keep up with EV's I'm afraid. One of Tesla's original partners started a recycling corp. 3 years back. Turns out lithium will be highly recyclable. Many believe batteries at some point may be made up mostly of previously recycled batteries. Numerous such companies are at work now and aligning themselves with different car companies.
