"Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Battery Management Act."

This New Jersey bill requires electric vehicle battery manufacturers and importers to label batteries with end-of-life information and prohibits disposing of used batteries as regular trash. It directly affects battery producers, vehicle manufacturers, and recyclers by mandating they create approved "battery management plans" to cover the collection, reuse, recycling, or safe disposal of used propulsion batteries. Producers must take responsibility for end-of-life management - either through direct take-back programs or by funding approved recyclers - within 180 days of the law's effective date. The law also bans solid waste facilities and collectors from accepting batteries for disposal as standard trash.
