Tariffs on EVs from China will reportedly raise from 25% to 100%. Semiconductors, solar, and batteries from China will also see their tariffs increase.
Whether EV batteries are at the end or middle of their life, shops can use Ascend Elements and Call2Recycle's program to have them shipped out and recycled.
The grant will benefit Brookdale Community College's EV Education for New Jersey project, which aims to prepare incoming technicians to repair and service EVs.
Since the program was first launched in partnership with Helena College last year, several inmates have gone on to find careers in the repair industry.
