Requires manufacturers of electric vehicles to label electric vehicle batteries; establishes electric vehicle battery tracking database; establishes guidelines for safe disassembly of electric vehicle batteries.

New Jersey's A1881 requires electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers to label EV batteries with specific details - including the battery manufacturer, cathode chemistry, date of manufacture, and a QR code linking to a state database - by 18 months after the law takes effect. The Department of Environmental Protection must establish labeling standards within one year, create a public database tracking battery information and safe disposal guidelines by 18 months, and publish annual reports on the database's effectiveness. The law directly affects EV manufacturers (who must comply with labeling rules) and battery owners/repair shops (who gain access to disposal instructions and recycling options via the database). Key provisions include mandatory QR code-linked tracking, safety disassembly guidelines, and requirements for battery reuse/recycling information to address environmental concerns with lithium-ion batteries.
