Battery Regulations

Increasing federal and state oversight and more stringent regulations are expected to impact virtually every battery type and application, including electric vehicle (“EV”), grid energy storage, critical minerals, industrial, and traditional consumer batteries. Companies throughout the battery supply chain must prepare now to adapt to changing compliance standards for battery use, storage, collection, labelling, recycling, and consumer education. King & Spalding’s Environmental, Health and Safety team leverages its knowledge of Extended Producer Responsibility (“EPR”) laws, hazardous material transport, and other environmental regulations, as well as its experience working at and with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, to holistically advise clients on the rapidly evolving universe of battery regulations.
