加强全生命周期管理，新能源汽车废旧动力电池回收利用新规发布

Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, along with five other departments, has released the "Interim Measures for the Management of Recycling and Comprehensive Utilization of Waste Power Batteries from New Energy Vehicles," which will take effect on April 1, 2026. The measures emphasize a management approach that covers the entire lifecycle of batteries, including the establishment of a digital identification system for power batteries [1][4]. Group 1: Industry Development - The new energy vehicle industry in China has experienced rapid growth, with production and sales expected to reach 16.626 million and 16.49 million units respectively by 2025, marking year-on-year increases of 29% and 28.2% [3]. - As of June 30, 2025, the total number of new energy vehicles in China is projected to reach 36.89 million, accounting for 10.27% of the total number of vehicles [3]. - The volume of waste power batteries is anticipated to exceed 1 million tons by 2030, as the batteries approach their retirement phase [3]. Group 2: Regulatory Framework - The "Interim Measures" aim to centralize waste resources to enhance recycling efficiency and prevent safety hazards associated with unregulated battery disposal [3]. - The measures include a comprehensive management strategy that covers all channels, chains, and the entire lifecycle of batteries, focusing on the design of a "vehicle-battery integrated scrapping" system [4]. - A national information platform for tracking the lifecycle of new energy vehicle batteries will be established, along with a digital identification system for batteries, which will include requirements for coding and information reporting [4]. Group 3: Enforcement and Compliance - The "Interim Measures" introduce strict regulatory measures, including administrative penalties for non-compliance with battery disposal and recycling responsibilities, as well as violations of coding and information reporting requirements [5].
