Electric cars require about 8kg of Lithium, and that's easily and economically recyclable.
An EV with thermal battery protection lasts about 250,000km, about the same as a gasoline car.
You can buy an EV that has passed European safety homologation (the BYD Seagull) for $8,000 in China. The TCO of that is obviously a lot better than a gasoline vehicle. The fact that you can't in Europe or North America is not due to economics.
