Cost and ease of battery recycling is really an issue of economies of scale.  If the number of different battery technologies is limited to one or two, and a sufficiently large number of vehicles using it are on the road, then the recycling will be there for it.  With limited scale and small mass, like laptops, then it's pretty limited and a lot of it ends up in the hazmat landfill.

The democrats want to outlaw the element lead, as a backdoor attack on gun ownership.
So lead-acid batteries have to go.
Just like their overall attacks on American business and the American lifestyle, it's camouflaged as a plea for "the good of the planet".
