Recycling electric car batteries

What does the future look like for the Automotive industry?
Electric car batteries are big and, as with any battery, they won’t last forever. So how will we deal with an increasingly large number of those big batteries once they reach the end of their life?
Batteries are the most expensive component of an electric car. New energy data analyst BNEF estimates each kilowatt-hour of battery capacity will drop to $US100 to manufacture by 2023, less than one-tenth what it cost in 2010.
But for an EV with a relatively small 40kWh battery pack that still means $US4000 of batteries. Larger EVs could have $US10,000 or more in batteries.
Plug-in hybrid electric cars use the same lithium-ion technology as EVs, although they have smaller battery packs because they also have a traditional engine to extend the driving range.
