I kind of wonder if there isn't a "reuse" period before recycling that should be encouraged. Like using EV batteries for household battery backup. They have enormous capacity, even when their EV range has been diminished. I also think that car manufacturers get "green PR" from recycling, but they really just want to snap up cheap metals/minerals when making batteries. But I kind of wonder if they are opportunists and it would not only be better for the environment for people to reuse the batteries, but also the people wanting to reuse would easily outbid for used batteries, given the chance.
