Hmm. What are the recycling opportunities for lithium ion batteries?

Any revenue generated by recycling the batteries would certainly be less money than the loss of value of the car itself if you then tried to sell it without any batteries at all, and the cost of replacing the batteries at that point would only serve to run the cost per mile figure up even higher.

And, given the experience we all have with lithium ion battery life excpectancy in laptops and other devices.... 150,000 miles is a very generous estimate of how long they might last.
