"Some of the biggest misconceptions about EVs are related to batteries and battery recycling, according to a new survey of 1,004 randomly selected US consumers by Ascend Elements. Almost half (47%) believe that EV batteries cannot be recycled at all, and they will pile up in landfills full of toxic, leaking, old batteries.

"Ascend Elements also recently received $480 million in grants from the US DoE to manufacture sustainable battery materials from recycled batteries."
