Scrapped car batteries will be used for energy storage banks elsewhere. It does however look like the car batteries have a longer life than expected. Some will live the life time of the car. Some will be replaced since people want to upgrade to higher capacity batteries that will give their cars longer range.

You are right about shorter range in the winter, but it is usually still sufficient for the daily commute, so nothing to worry about.

In Norway it is cheaper to both buy and drive an electric car than a regular car.
