The cells they should use will not need discarding, that will depend on how far technology takes us in that area. The way I understand it right now, they will not need disposal. I am not certain of the ion type they will use, and I don't think they are either.

The advances they have made with rechargeable batteries have been fantastic, I can only imagine there being strict regulations on the types of cells used for that reason (disposal problems). I tell you what I'll do, I'll look deeper into that, seeing is how you brought up such a valid point

Tokenz: 46,841 | Right now Deb, what I am reading allows that the average life span of a daily use vehicle battery pack is about ten years. Not easy to find some of this information, so much is proprietary right now. I will keep diggin though...It's what I do

Tokenz: 46,841 | Tesla Motors builds a total Electric with a fully recyleable Lithium Ion battery, the car runs about $80,000+ BUT is totally electric and batteries like I said can be recycled.
