    Yea, you could say the same about battery materials, but those get reused for what a decade before they start to degrade?

    Isn’t lithium infinitely recyclable?

      I have heard that! But it’s on the consumers to ensure they get the old packs to a place that can recycle them. Just like with existing car parts I imagine the suppliers could put a big core charge on replacement battery packs to ensure the old ones are returned for remanufacture.
