    Batteries, when finally finished in cars and a second life as a house/grid battery, they can be recycled. It’s just there is a bit of a lack of them to recycle because they are lasting longer than planned. You can’t recycled used petrol or diesel.

    With ICE you want a big tank as you have to go somewhere special to refuel and so only go once a week. But with EVs, you refuel at home and start the day with plenty for the day, every day.

    It’s all new, but you can sell ICE just going to lose. EVs will get near price parity in years to come. And range just keeps improving. ICE is doomed long run. It’s mad to have liquid fuel that has to transport at the scale of the fuel network. Compared to just fuel transmitted over wires that can be generated however.
