The EV Battery Recovery™ Program is a first-of-its-kind initiative in North America, funded by leading vehicle manufacturers to facilitate the responsible collection, transportation, and end-of-life management of their EV batteries through repurposing, remanufacturing, or recycling.

Launched in Quebec in June 2023, the program is available to Quebec-based auto dismantlers, recyclers, shredders, independent garages, independent dealerships, fleet operators, and individual EV owners, offering a credible recovery solution on behalf of participating manufacturers.

In Canada, electric vehicle manufacturers already have established processes to recover EV batteries under warranty, subject to recall, or designated for remanufacturing, and the vehicle dismantling and recycling industry has systems in place for removing and reselling EV batteries or providing them to other processors. The EV Battery Recovery™ Program is designed to complement these existing practices, ensuring that all eligible EV batteries are responsibly managed and recovered upon request, advancing the circular economy and reducing environmental impact.
