I'm sure that as oil craps out, billions of dollars will go into the discovery and earth-raping of lithium instead. I believe that lithium is highly recyclable. Lead Acid batteries ARE highly recyclable and already have a massive recycling infrastructure (though it would have to get 12 times larger if everyone's car was 144 volts). We will deal with these problems as the time comes, certainly. There are multiple options available and each has their uses. Not everyone will need 5 minute recharges with 250 mile ranges. That will be the "luxury car" option while poor sods like me are charging overnight for the commute to work.
