End-of-Life Management of Electric Vehicle Batteries

Summary

The law adds a new framework for electric‑vehicle (EV) propulsion batteries, requiring manufacturers, importers and recyclers to register, pay fees, label batteries and report data on reuse, repurposing and recycling. It creates a hierarchy that prioritizes reuse before recycling and mandates public outreach, education and transparent reporting of critical‑mineral recovery. The goal is to keep more batteries out of landfills, recover valuable minerals, and support Colorado’s 2050 net‑zero emissions target.
