The study also estimated that gas-powered vehicles cause at least twice as much environmental damage over their lifetimes as EVs, and said the benefits of EVs can be expected to increase in coming decades as clean sources of power, such as solar and wind, are brought onto the grid.

I mean, the materials can be recycled. We haven't needed to because of rabid capitalist exploitation, but as the need for these materials grows and mining becomes less feasible they can and will be recycled.
