This issue is unique to China, not a reflection on EVs in general. All those vehicles will likely be recycled, the batteries are too valuable not to.

Actually, SaThomas makes a solid point about battery value, but the real issue in these 'EV graveyards' is often the high cost of disassembling expired/low-end LFP batteries vs. the falling price of new ones. If the recycling cost exceeds the raw material value, these graveyards might stay 'buried' for longer than we think. It’s an economic paradox of the EV transition.
