Allow me to correct your misconceptions:
According to manufacturer's data, lithium-ion batteries last between 7 - 10 years with proper maintenance. Golf carts that belong to an individual person or household tend to last longer (I assume it's compared to a fleet, like a golf course).
Volkswagen reclaims approximately 70% of the raw material from used batteries and is aiming for 97 percent in the future.
Ps: During this time of change it's important that accurate facts are available and posted
