How is EV greener in the long term than combustible engine vehicles?

Don’t get me wrong. I know the vehicle itself will have way lower emissions and than a regular gas or diesel vehicle, but what I’m confused on is that they will have to mine to get the raw materials to make these batteries and then once the battery is done it’s lifespan they will need to find a way to dispose or recycle these batteries. Imagine doing that capacity when the whole world has transitioned to EV.

Also, batteries are recyclable or reusable. There are several companies which reuse batteries for energy storage systems. Current recycling technologies is able to recycle about 95% of the battery. These are also industries at the beginning of their lifespans, and will only become more efficient.
