Numerous companies such as Green Bean battery company are popping  up to rehab old batteries and resell them for a 1/4 of the cost of new.  The free market is taking care of the battery problems.
I believe this is how Interstate battery company was started-rehabbing used batteries but it's been a while.

I am well aware. I have rebuilt two personally. Still even at that it was fifteen hundred bucks in parts and the expertise to try.

But then I DO buy/sell. It's my thing to buy busted sh*t and fix it to sell it for a profit.
And I can tell you right now that a EV that needs a battery will be worth nothing. Worse than a minivan that needs a transmission.

  For example, the cobalt used in my iPhone is predominantly from recycled sources.  The same cannot be said for your EV.

Only half of Teslas now use cobalt. The EV industry is getting away from Lithium and cobalt and or only using minimum amounts through innovation.

Carter, at least, recognized inflation was a problem and appointed Paul Volcker to chairman of the Federal Reserve

Biden probably still believes the current inflation is "transitory'

Stealing?
Wasn't left abandoned and she found it?

That's what I thought. She and Hunter do seem to leave stuff lying around, and then they whine when someone takes a look at it, whether diary or laptop.

A while back, Mr. M found a brand new Under Armour hoodie lying along the bike trail. After several days went by and no one picked it up, he finally brought it home, washed it thoroughly, and ta-da! I have a very nice new hoodie. I guess I should be waiting for the police to knock on the door for our having appropriated abandoned property.
