In a groundbreaking move, Colorado has become the first state in the US to require car manufacturers to take back old electric vehicle (EV) batteries for free. This landmark decision aims to reduce waste and promote sustainability in the rapidly growing EV market. Under the new law, automakers will be responsible for collecting and recycling EV batteries that are no longer functional, rather than leaving them to be disposed of in landfills or incinerators. The ruling is expected to set a precedent for other states to follow, potentially revolutionizing the way EV batteries are handled at the end of their lifespan.
