I hope this is true- the main drawback to EVs has been they become total ewaste in like 7-10 years.

#2 problem is the lack of serviceability of the battery packs themselves- https://www.autoevolution.com/news/yikes-the-60000-hyundai-ioniq-5-battery-replacement-saga-continues-226590.html

I think government mandate for interchangeable battery models based on some kind of standard, and requirements that they are removable and repairable is required to force manufacturers stop making these things proprietary and non-serviceable.
