Is there a need though? At least according to this article, they last a lot better than what I was told they would 10 years ago. Combined with better battery tech, better charging systems and more awareness about how to care for your battery now compared to 10 years ago, I'm not convinced it's actually a problem, but more something for the oil lobby and rednecks to point to while crying.
You made your own point. In 10 years the 'new' battery tech will make the current model cars almost irrelevant. Standardize the batteries and mandate replaceability. Phone companies figued that out a long time ago but ditched it in favor or profits.
And? We went from 10 mpg sedans to 35 mpg ones in my lifetime. Improvement impacts every developing technology over time.
So the old ones are just e-waste? We could at least recycle a big chunk of ice cars
What in the hell are you talking about? EV batteries don’t go bad as fast or frequently as you seem to think. When they do, they are highly recyclable.
