There are currently three companies recycling car (and all other) batteries.
Batteries are 93% to 95% recyclable. They contain mostly minerals and can be
made into new battery cells. None of the battery recycling companies are auto
companies.

My big worry with electric cars is when the battery life ends what will the
car companies do with them? Right now they say they have a plan to recycle
them. I call BS on that one. We all know they will do what is cheapest & they
will end up in the nearest landfill. That will cause no end of contamination
to soil, water & air. I do not trust that the auto industry will do what is
good for the planet, only their bottom line. Jane

I had one more thought on electric vehicles. What happens if you want to
drive at night or on a cloudy day? Here's a solution, put small windmills
on the vehicles. Then that part of the problem is solved.

I knew it had to happen sometime. Now some U.S. auto makers need to follow

That's a great ideal Mike, but you are just a little late to the party.
Hyundai is already doing this:
Hyundai launches first car with solar roof charging system
Hyundai’s solar car roof isn’t as dumb as it sounds
Oh, ya, Kia is in on this too:
Kia and Hyundai reveal solar charging system technology

I've been thinking about electric vehicles lately, I don't know why. I came
up with an idea to make recharging the battery. It's simple. Just put solar
panels on top of them. That won't work on convertibles, but how many of
them are there. Just remember, you heard it here first, from me.
