There’s already so many ev cars in scrap yards due to being mechanically totaled from dead batteries it’s not worth buying one unless you plan to lease or budget for a new battery/motor after the warranty is out. ICE cars at the price of EV cars still last way longer, and can be maintained to continue running without a mandatory motor replacement after a certain number of miles/hours.
It takes a really, really long time for EV batteries to “die.” They absolutely degrade and lose range over time, but you should still be getting significant usable mileage out of them. This sounds like unfounded propaganda to me.

Not top mention that the batteries can be recycled at end of life to be made into new batteries for other cars.
Theoretically yes, although right now doing so is more expensive than just mining fresh materials for the most part 😅
