actually the research on why electric car batteries are not being recycled is because every car is too proprietary and it costs too much infrastructure to change for each battery manufacturer. Lithium has a lot of value so recyclers want to get into battery recycling but have made it known they need standardized battery design/packaging standards to make that possible.

saying we need produce more waste to recycle car batteries is like saying we need more CO2 emissions to actually cause more climate change so no can pretend it does not exist.

lithium AA batteries are recycled, a 2000 lb battery is significantly more payoff.
