Requires certain disclosures regarding lithium ion powered electric vehicles.
This bill requires businesses selling lithium-ion battery electric vehicles in New Jersey to provide buyers with a standardized disclosure statement. The statement must explain that lithium mining impacts ecosystems, lithium reserves are becoming scarce, and identify the specific lithium source used in the vehicle's battery. Sellers must have each buyer sign a receipt confirming they received the disclosure. Violations carry civil penalties of $150 for the first offense and $300 for subsequent violations. The bill applies to all EV sellers in New Jersey and aims to increase transparency about battery sourcing.
