Curious. Why would there be outcry. Tesla and Nissan already have recycling facilities. Nissan pays a thousand bucks for the core. Not that anyone would ever not recycle a battery but a vehicle lithium ion battery doesn't have near the environmental impact as a single leaf acid 12 volt battery. Lead is nasty stuff.
That's what they do now, not 50 years from now. They want people to buy. Plus, they are being subsidized. That won't last.
As for lead-acid, the greenies don't know it but the lead is recycled into bullets. ;)
One has to wonder why 19th century lead-acid batteries and internal combustion engines are still in use. It's a head scratcher! ;)
