Everyone compares Li-ion recycling to starter battery recycling, but starter battery recycling is extracting a single element that makes up almost all of the mass of the battery. There are many different cathode chemistries all in use for lithium ion cells, so the logistics problem is significantly more complicated.
Presumably a specific chemistry will end up winning out for chars, but, IMO, most of the cars on the road now will never have their cells recycled.
