There's growing commercial use of EVs. These will be driven harder and longer. They will not last 10+ years.
The point that you're missing is that you can extend a packs life with a secondary application. That secondary application can make the cost of its first use lower making EVs more easier to adopt.
This requires more and more material. However we can recycle this material back through tearing it apart, which is a costly process.
It would be better to recycle a pack to its base material later than sooner. So the second life use allows for delaying the teardown & reclaiming process.
