I am not an EV fan. A hybrid would work for me with my solar for our 10 to 20 km trips. Except for November through February. Economically makes NO sense. I have my Fiat 500X Diesel. For homeowners with solar and small trips it can make sense except for the economics of initial purchase and electrifying the house. Forget apartment dwellers. Here in Germany you CANNOT find an electrician anymore for installation.

As far as battery recycling there is better news out now for secondary use as storage and much longer life albeit with reduced capacity. In other words the batteries can continue to be used for years in stationary operation where weight is not a factor.

Range anxiety and always hoping you find a charging station AND then having to wait makes current EVs useless for medium to long range travel.
