Meh worlds screwed. I only go off people ive talked to that design and work in auto industry. They would admit off the record that hybrids and ev are not friendly to manufacture.
Not even factoring in well to exhaust pipe costs. Especually as the litium batteries are produced and shipped over too.
No economically viable method of recycling them in aus to mu knowledge so eiyher stockpiled or shipped os for recycling or landfill.

End of day if we stopped making new cars we could just re manufacturer older ones with efficient drive trains.
