Has anyone seen any recent information about Rivian's plans for battery recycling once the packs reach end-of-life, and/or incorporating recycled materials into their own battery manufacturing? A saw a few older posts (2019, 2020) about how their proof-of-concept vehicle batteries were planned for repurposing to solar projects in Puerto Rico, but I'm curious about this aspect of the life cycle of the vehicles now that manufacturing is ramping up by orders of magnitude.
Also, given that EVs are so low maintenence in many ways it would be great if there were some approach to replacing the battery packs in 10 years or whenever significant degradation starts to set in. Has anyone heard anything along these lines?
