If we produce all electric and hibrid cars, how will we dispose of the old batteries?

Batteries are a problem NOW. They are toxic, made with chemicals and metals that create know health and environmental problems.
Shall we continue to dump millions of tons of them in landfills?

Answers:

1Hybrid batteries are fully recycleable.

"Toyota has a comprehensive battery recycling program in place and has been recycling nickel-metal hydride batteries since the RAV4 Electric Vehicle was introduced in 1998. Every part of the battery, from the precious metals to the plastic, plates, steel case and the wiring, is recycled. To ensure that batteries come back to Toyota, each battery has a phone number on it to call for recycling information and dealers are paid a $200 "bounty" for each battery."
