China has announced new interim measures to strengthen the recycling and comprehensive utilisation of used power batteries from new energy vehicles (NEVs), effective 1 Apr’26. The rules mandate battery coding, digital identity cards, and full life-cycle traceability, while extending recycling responsibility to battery and EV manufacturers. Non-compliance may attract fines of up to RMB 50,000. Notably, China’s rapidly expanding NEV fleet exceeded 20 million by 2024.
