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 know someone who wanted to make a recycling startup for the batteries (pick the cells that are still ok and assemble new batteries out of them), but there’s so much red tape in my country for that (needs to request a recycling permission with a lot of requirements) that he just gave up.
