If there was nobody left to buy used batteries for storage, then there would still be plenty of recyclers looking to buy them.

And the people who bought a 25% worn battery for storage would be looking for another new one at some point, at which time they will sell the old one off for recycling.

So a time and resource intensive process for recycling giant heavy objects that can explode will be effective in every country of the planet at the scale of every car?

I’m not saying it couldn’t be true, but I’m quite skeptical…

There's already Li-Cycle and Redwood Materials. No obvious reason why they couldn't scale.
