EV batteries are simply too valuable to toss out, and a new industry of recyclers is busy snatching them all up. Cleaner electricity means a shorter payback period, but even in regions that still get electricity from coal, EVs eventually win out. Closing the loop brings the total CO2 savings to 80%.
