Battery infrastructure beats innovation; circular economy eliminates mining dependency

Wright argues that incremental battery chemistry improvements, not radical breakthroughs, will drive EV adoption forward—but only if paired with massive infrastructure investment in charging networks and circular economy models. She advocates that repurposing and staged reuse of spent batteries can fundamentally eliminate destructive mining operations, making recycling alone an insufficient sustainability strategy.
