I saw an article some time around 2013 or 2014 talking about how it was not economicly feasible to recycle lithium batteries and how most of the ones we think are being recycled are going to the land fill.
Another article from this year or last year recommends that used up hybrid and electric car lithium batteries that still hold some power be used as power grid storage storage since recycling wasn't feasible.
I never said recycling these batteries wasn't possible.
Announcing and doing are 2 different things.
The fact that tesla announced they want to do a closed loop battery recycling thing is proof there is no effective large scale lithium battery recycling going on.
