> the expected battery turnover is not occurring

I find this somewhat amusing, because the black PR of the fossil-fuel industry would have us believe that EV batteries basically have a 2-year lifespan, cost lots of CO2 to produce, instantly become toxic waste after those 2 years, are non-recyclable, and overall as a result EVs emit more CO2 than gasoline-burning cars. We are being told that EVs have a larger CO2 footprint than gasoline-burners.

Then Redwood shows up with a perfect way to utilize all those discarded batteries without even opening them up, and… that toxic industrial junk isn't even there?
