This is the truth dressed up in a great cover, you won't read much about it, electrics vehicles are barely a decade old and have on average travelled a fraction the miles of a combustion engine.

Imagine if instead of 5% of cars EVs made up 85% of the traffic?
Where's that in the carbon budget?
btw., I'm all for this re-use of batteries, but my own preference is distributed rather than monolithic, the plan here in OZ is to put them on power poles down your street to help load balance and also offer some localised black-out protection. Sort of a public UPS. Putting them local also eliminates or minimises grid loss for SolarPV feed in.
