> We’ve also seen great strides in battery recycling. I have no doubt that lithium batteries will be part of a near 100% circular economy in the future. Even if it takes a while to get good battery recycling it won't be a problem. Imagine every single person on Earth had an EV, and that they used them so much that the batteries had to be replaced every 5 years, and that we have no battery recycling so all those old batteries just get dumped in a landfill to await some future recycling advances. So we start building huge battery landfills in deserts and other uninhabited places, say 20 miles x 20 miles by 50 feet deep. If it took 200 years of this before we figured out how to recycle the batteries we'd have only needed to build ~70 of those landfills.
