- b112 2y agoLarge or small operator, the recovery amount will be a tiny fraction of the overall battery pack cost. Recycling isn't free, and costs, and assemble + profit margins at both ends. In short, you're diverting "how often" to "meh, who cares, they're recyclable", without any validation that it negates the cost.
