You think this is the kind of thing people will do in reality? Will there be economic incentive for this activity?

What will the recycling look like? Any idea if it’ll be a net carbon negative?

Pay several thousand to replace the entire battery pack, or pay some fraction to replace the bad cells? Seems pretty clear to me.

Doesn't need to be carbon negative, it just needs to be less bad than what we're doing currently with ICE.

That’s what I meant. I guess all in, EVs have to be better than ICEs?
Those are not broke after 5-10 year of usage. Small cells might be broken but replaceable and if not used for cars we still can and will use them for power storage.
And then we can recycle them.
