Recycling when EV batteries get down to 80%-of-range level can be tricky. But there’s no necessity if there are many immediate uses for batteries that are ‘down’ to 240 instead of 300.

I remember in the ’90s/’00s there were a few Mazda and Ford vehicles that were basically the same, most obviously to me the Ford Ranger and Mazda B-series pickup truck.
at that time, Ford owned 1/3 of Mazda. They divested in 2015.
IIRC, the Mazda3 was based on the same platform as the European version of the Ford Focus
Yes, and the Mazda6 and Mustang shared a platform.
They were both assembled in Flat Rock at the same time, but the Mazda based platform was CD3. That’s the Fusion and Edge.

Ah yes. Thank you for that correction! I knew it shared one and I conflated the assembly line with the platform.
