I am not interested in electric cars, and do not like them being subsidized.
I also don’t like the idea of throwing away a perfectly good car body, seats, electric motor, etc. because the battery os no good.
People rebuild car engines, and depending on the engine save a lot of money over throwing in a new one. Same with transmissions. Is it possible that we could eventually see a market for reconditioned batteries, or batteries made with something other than Li-ion to get a few more years out of that Tesla or Leaf for not quite so much money?
It won’t be for me. Our 2018 Toyota Avalon is the newest car we will ever own (unless my wife buys something after I die). But just to avoid throwing away perfectly good motors and car bodies.

Where did you get that notion?
