    No they can’t, or have they found a way to 100% recycle Lithium? As far as I know currently they are dependent of mining ever more Lithium to produce new batteries. Nobody really measures the damage done to the earth there, especially when mining happens in remote and/or poor areas.

    Even renewable energy needs mined minerals and regular replacement of parts - solar, hydro, wind. All energy has a cost.
