Battery circularity, not chemistry breakthroughs, unlocks EV adoption

Wright argues that incremental battery chemistry improvements are overshadowed by the real constraint: infrastructure and circular economy logistics. The path to scaled EV adoption depends less on breakthrough innovations and more on repurposing spent batteries and closing mining loops through staged reuse.
