That's where government regulations come into the discussion, but we all know how people don't like government regulations. Every car company and battery maker needs to be forced into recycling their products, we know they won't do it voluntarily!
Also new solid state battery development will reduce the need for lithium and create better and safer batteries.
It's a process, it took over 100 years to perfect the fossil fuel burning vehicle.
With the technology we have today it won't take nearly as long.
