the materials used at the moment are unlikely to be ones that are required in batteries in 30 or so year's time.
Who cares? If we don't get emissions under control in the next 10 years we're pretty much dead anyway. There's a very good reason why lithium battery recycling isn't well advanced at the moment - we don't need it. The batteries are lasting so well that there aren't enough available for end of life repurposing, let alone recycling.
