New energy vehicle models to implement the source management since August 1

Following the issuance of the Interim Measures on the Management of the Recovery and Utilization of New Energy Vehicle Power Battery, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIC) released the Interim Provisions on the Management of the Recovery and Utilization of New Energy Vehicle Power Battery (Consultation Draft) a few days ago. The establishment of the "National Monitoring and Integrated Management Platform for the Recovery and Use of Power Battery of New Energy Vehicles" was proposed to collect information on the entire process of power battery production, sales, use, scrapping, recovery, and utilization, and monitor the implementation of the responsibility for recycling and utilization of all links. The regulations will be implemented as of August 1 this year.

According to the draft of the consultation, the new model will implement traceability management from the date of implementation of the regulations, and will be implemented after 12 months of delay in the production of models. The production models will be replaced by information within 12 months of the implementation of the regulations. Automobile production enterprises should upload the information of recycling service outlets on the traceability management platform and publish it to the public on the enterprise website. Car production, sales, maintenance and other information should be uploaded to the source management platform.

The battery warranty period for electric vehicles is generally 5 to 8 years. The first electric car batteries on the market have entered the "retirement period." In February this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Environmental Protection issued the Interim Measures for the Management of the Recovery and Utilization of New Energy Vehicle power batteries, which came into effect on August 1, 2018, and stipulated that the used power batteries generated during production, use, utilization, storage and transportation should be recycled.

The measures stipulate that the automobile production enterprise shall bear the main responsibility for recycling, and shall establish a power battery recycling channel, be responsible for recovering the used and used power batteries generated after the use and scrapping of new energy vehicles, and establish a post-sale maintenance service network. The measures encourage automobile manufacturers to provide convenient and fast recycling services to owners of new energy vehicles in various ways, and to increase the incentives for owners to transfer used power batteries through such measures as repurchasing, replacing old with new ones, and granting subsidies.

Each car company gradually began to layout the power battery recycling industry. A few days ago, Beijing Beiqi Penglong Automobile Service Trading Co., Ltd. and Green America Co., Ltd. signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement on retired power battery recovery. The two sides will jointly build Beiqi Group's new energy and related car companies and battery companies. The recycling system of Beiqi Group, In the distribution outlets and other channels of Beiqi Penglong, it will carry out recycling and decommissioning or scrapping power batteries, and build a recycling network system for used power batteries for the public. In addition, the two sides will establish a power battery echelon utilization factory in Hebei Huanghua. It is expected that the first phase of the project before the end of 2019 will be piloted, with an annual production capacity of 300,000 units.
