With the continuous development of new energy vehicle industry, the number of new energy vehicles is also gradually increasing. As of June 2019, the number of new energy vehicles in China is about 3.44 million, including more than 2.83 million pure electric vehicles. With the increase of quantity, the problem of power battery recovery, one of the main parts of new energy vehicles, becomes more and more serious. What are the regulations or procedures for battery recovery of new energy vehicles?
In fact, on August 1, 2018, the Interim Measures for the management of power battery recycling of new energy vehicles have been implemented. According to the interim measures, the extended producer responsibility system has been implemented. In other words, automobile manufacturers need to bear the main responsibility for the recovery of power batteries, while relevant enterprises need to perform the same responsibility in all aspects of the recovery of power batteries, which is what we often say. At the same time, it also encourages automobile manufacturers, battery manufacturers and existing enterprises for recycling and dismantling of end-of-life vehicles to build recycling channels for used power batteries in various ways.
On November 7, 2019, the Ministry of industry and information technology issued the guidelines for the construction and operation of new energy vehicle power battery recycling service outlets. On the basis of the Interim Measures for the management of new energy vehicle power battery recycling implemented in 2018, it put forward the requirements for the construction of new energy vehicle waste power battery and power battery recycling service outlets in terms of safety and environmental protection The power battery is listed as dangerous goods for recycling.
For the car companies, some of them have built their own recycling platform. For example, Weilai automobile provides free replacement service for car owners, who can choose to replace the power battery. In addition, Vemma can provide hedging and replacement services, that is, to discount the old Vemma, and then purchase new models, and provide a depreciation price of 61.8% within three years from the invoice date.
In fact, at present, the new energy vehicle industry is still in the early stage of development, and the relevant policies are not perfect, and the same is true for the recovery of new energy vehicle batteries. So at this time, relevant departments and vehicle enterprises need to actively communicate and formulate relevant processes to alleviate the anxiety of car owners, which is also conducive to expanding the market scale.
