[ausev] Battery disposal

[Steve Ross]

I was talking about EV's to a friend and we were talking about exchanging
the entire battery pack to charge.  His comment/ concern was 'how are we
going to dispose of all this Lithium in the batteries'?  Isn't this
considered 'heavy metal' and will we have to treat it like nuclear waste?

Has anybody figured out what we are going to do with all these old batteries
that have toxic waste products?  And what about the new lithium processes
that will make even more unique metals to deal with?
