The manufacturer is made fully financially liable for any and all costs, in perpetuity, incurred due to batteries catching on fire.
Do that, and "the market" will solve this. Better batteries, functioning recycling, whatever.
Without the massive subsidies on EVs, they would have never taken off. Heck, Tesla the company would never had gotten off the ground in the first place if it hadn't been for the tens of billions of USD Obama lavished on his best-buddy Musk.
I maintain:
If it's a good product/service, companies will do it on their own and will want to keep the government/state out of business.
If it's a bad product/service, or simply unprofitable, companies will demand subsidies and clamour for their business to be critically important to Good Cause X.
Norway ought to look at its own history, and get back "either it's a public good enabling private capital flourish, and if so then it's to be run by the Crown, or it's not and is better left to private interests in the first place".
Well, if the stated intent of the Climate Cultists is to make people stop driving, nothing you say is a surprise: it's merely the next-level attack on individual mobility. Use EVs for, say, collective transport, it's of course fine.
Of course this reeks like this; some alt/tabloid outlets in Austria report™ on threats to Tesla owners--what a time to be alive.
Well, yeah, that’s been quite obvious for a long time now, hasn’t it? If you take out the true believer Gretas and the bandwagon grifters you are left with a core of people who know perfectly well that there isn’t a climate crisis and that humans have little influence on it regardless. They have simply settled on climate since the Earth Summit at Rio as the most convenient lever to realise their goal.
The goal being a neo-feudal society, ideally world-wide, where the majority has been shorn of any delusions of individual agency or personhood and are ruled by a group of elect or eloi or whatever fancy name the antinomian nomenklatura likes to give itself this time.
There’s a reason people like David Attenborough express their desire to reduce the world population to 450 million. That’s not just their deep hatred of the mudpeople speaking. We last had a world population of 450 million around the year 1500, i.e.before the age of discovery shattered the medieval cosmos and the reformation wrested individual agency from the two cities doctrine (pope/emperor) of medieval thought.

Of course it's an easy fix, provided you'd want to fix it.
Problem: EVs turn out to be even worse for the environment than IC cars.
Reaction: we must ban EVs too. For Gaia! And the children!
Solution: now the mudpeople are finally out of individual transportation and stuck back in their hovels as god intended.

Well, these thoughts are quite obvious by now, hence it's equally clear why they are ridiculed, as in, 'they would never do that'.
I’ll just stick to my gas loving Jeep, thanks
