Also amysr, abml, sxoof etc each having prototypes that can recycle 99-99.9% of the materials helps long term as well

If we as humanity have several solid state batteries succeed, this also extends longevity 2-100x depending on comparing tech

Both will help

Along with lower end batteries with alluminum or graphene (or even high quality) can help save rare metal consumption

Less explosive evs helps too

And these are above-and-beyond what's really needed, just shows how far we can go with efficiency with battery and EV tech.

People like Redwood Materials are already doing ~95% recovery at large scale.

Also just "boring" ones that are already here, like Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) and Sodium Ion.
