Electric Cars and their Dead Batteries

    Consumers see more and more everyday that car companies around the world are beginning the transformation form gas and diesel combustion engines to the hybrid, and full electric cars. Just in the last two years, just about every single car company has announced and put into production fully electric cars. This can be viewed as an amazing feat of technology and innovation; which it is, however, where are car companies getting the materials to produce these car batteries, how are they being disposed of, and how are they compensating for the increase of power needed to charge these cars? Looking into the situation, the car industry is still very young with the whole electric car phase of automobile transportation, however it is growing fast. With these manufactures it's a race to see who can have the best most reliable and economic car first and with this comes lots of errors and over sights. For example, when this battery dies (like a lot of the early cell phones people had that can't keep a charge to save their own lives) what will happen when consumers need to dispose of them, is there a recycling facility that can break these down and reuse them in the future?
    I think the best answer is something that one car company is doing and needs to be reflected with everyone else. Tesla Motor Company has the right idea when it comes to saving the planet. Every battery pack made by Tesla can be 100% recycled and re-used again in the future. With this it gives not only the consumer but the company an incentive to use this method more so than just throwing it away. Tesla also offers quick charge stations in some parts of the USA that are solar powered, reducing the need to have main power lines fed right into their charging ports, this helps them be more power savvy and helps reduce carbon footprint and power plants from burning large amounts of coal to power their cars.
