Batteries Can’t Be Recycled
The biggest problem with EV car batteries is the cost and environmentally-problematic production methods. But there is also a recycling issue. As we all know, batteries tend to fail over time and lose their capacity. When that happens, the only solution is a costly replacement. Yet what happens with the old batteries (via BBC)?
They get dumped and the industry still has no idea how to recycle them. Since there is a significant number of EVs around, their batteries will create environmental problems in the future.
