This first of its kind program in North America is funded by vehicle manufacturers and is offered to auto dismantlers & recyclers, auto shredders, independent vehicle garages, vehicle dealerships, fleet operators and individual vehicle owners. The program was launched in Quebec in June of 2023 and currently operates there for all participating vehicle manufacturers. Vehicle manufacturers selling electrified vehicles in the Canadian market have already implemented EV battery recovery and management practices for EV batteries under warranty, subject to recall, or being remanufactured through their existing processes. The end-of-life vehicle dismantling and recycling industry may remove an EV battery and offer for resale as used parts or sell to other processors. The EV Battery Recovery^TM program is intended to complement programs already in operation, while ensuring that all eligible electrified vehicle batteries are properly managed and recovered upon request.
