When an EV retires, the battery can be recycled and the materials recovered to make new batteries. Relying on market dynamics alone risks wasted materials, unsafe and unregulated dismantling, and a lack of accountability for proper disposal. Increasing sales means more EVs eventually reaching their end of useful life.
