What has happened and what will happen is innovation. Battery technology has come light years in just 20 or 25 years. There will be some issues with toxic waste and there will be further innovation in battery recycling.
The greens are unlikely to demonize electric cars or their batteries in the short-term, so that should buy Musk and Co. some time to let that develop. Unlike nuclear, which if innovation would have been allowed to solve some of the negative aspects, we would be much further along with - not technically renewable - a strong "non-fossil" base that would allay the greenies concerns about AGW (however well founded or not).
