It is not a given that recycling lithium will be economical, if it’s more expensive than manufacturing new why bother?

- torpfactory 3mo agoWorst case scenario we dig up more lithium. I'm convinced the Nickel and Cobalt will be recycled. Lithium is a small percentage of total mass, 1-3%, and is abundant in the earth's crust. Maybe 5-10kg of lithium in a pack. Compare that to 40-80kg of petroleum every time I fill the tank.
