Battery longevity and circular economy matter more than range breakthroughs

Wright argues that the EV industry's obsession with incremental range and charging improvements obscures a more urgent truth: infrastructure investment and battery lifecycle management—repurposing over recycling—are the real levers for sustainable adoption. She contends that mining-dependent linear supply chains will be rendered obsolete by staged battery reuse, making circular economy principles non-negotiable competitive advantages rather than nice-to-have sustainability gestures.
