It's going to be hard to push regulation to specifically make it easier to dissassemble them. However, regulation that makes the manufacturer responsible throughout the life of the battery (and beyond the vehicle's warranty period) should be possible, and would force the manufacturer into designing-for-recycling. Disclaimer: I'm affiliated, as a founder, with a company building robots to disassemble car batteries semi-automatically.
