alt Hacker NewsThey'd have to beat used car battery pricing and I suspect used car batteries are going to be worth ~ $0 until recycling becomes better.
Apparently, it's almost impossible for wrecker yards to get rid of EV car batteries, even if the battery pack is still fine (but the car was totaled).
That's weird, the reason EVs have been so easy to total is that the residual value of the battery pack is high and therefore it takes less damage to reach the breakeven point than it does with an ICEV.
