But remember that there is a problem with battery disposal, and maybe the manufacturers should be made to deal with expired batteries.
When I worked with EDF 10 years ago they set up a scheme with Nissan to re-purpose end of life EV batteries to make mass storage systems for solar power. Grab a load of load batteries, pack them into containers, site them next to solar farms. Great idea - except that there was a huge shortage of end of life batteries, they were lasting much much longer than originally predicted (see the Tesla video). So they started using new batteries instead.
There are legitimate concerns about Lithium batteries, but having to find ways to dispose of them safely is not one of them.
