• Colorado's Landmark EV Battery Law Could Set the National Standard for End-of-Life Management (vocal.media) — A new Colorado law on electric-vehicle batteries could ease a major headache for Commerce City’s Stadium Auto Parts and similar small recyclers stuck with costly, unsellable packs. By making automakers responsible for collecting and processing retired batteries and setting strict mineral recovery targets, the policy aims to cut storage burdens, prevent landfill dumping, and build a more sustainable recycling system statewide.
