This is the big snag with EVs (as with solar panels and wind turbines): how much does a battery really cost if you factor in recycling and environmental damages? (Sorry about the slideshow format.)

i’ve seen some ex-nissan leaf battery packs get turned into DIY solar power storage for home use (on youtube), but it looks super complicated & not really doable for most people.
full on recycling, breaking down to chemicals/metals and then reselling back to battery manufacturing companies is far more realistic for most EV batteries. it can be a dirty process though.

You’ll be happy to know old Nissan Leaf batteries are being used at utility scale for excess solar power storage.
