It’s interesting that they’re concentrating so much on this now. Most lithium car batteries last at least 10 years if not longer. Not many EVs have reached that point yet. Maybe older Nissan Leaf and Prius models? And after that, these batteries still have enough juice left to be used for power back up installations. At end of life they are finally ready for actual tear-down recycling.
...and the reason those Nissan batteries are failing is because they famously weren't (aren't) temperature controlled. Most batteries are looking like they'll have longer lives.
