Re: [EVDL] Lead battery recycling, Not 98% (was: Delivery truck)

Let me add that the percentage of recycled batteries is not the big problem, but those that ARE recycled. As you say, much gets recycled in other countries where there are weak laws, and lots of emissions. But even if you look in this country, the requirements are still weak enough to cause
