On July 30, 2026, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued Announcement No. 20, 2026, officially abolishing all policy provisions of "echelon utilization" of power batteries, and no longer carrying out enterprise announcement management of "echelon utilization, all 100" echelon utilization "enterprises that have been announced have been removed from the compliance list. The double-track mode of "echelon utilization + regeneration dismantling", which lasted for more than ten years, ended.

The background of this policy is not complicated. For a long time, the industry threshold is extremely low and the supervision is loose. A large number of retired power batteries have bypassed official compliance channels and entered the gray market. Unqualified merchants have directly dismantled battery pack, screening cell with good appearance for simple splicing, after renovation and packaging, it will re-flow into the market of low-speed electric vehicles and energy storage equipment. These refurbished batteries have no unified quality inspection standards, no traceability system, no safety certification, and the problems of overcharge, overdischarge and thermal runaway caused by out-of-control battery consistency have become public safety hazards. According to CCTV financial data, about 33 percent of all electric bicycle fires were caused by illegal battery modification, and about 80 percent of the fire modification batteries came from waste power batteries of new energy vehicles.

This is PACK factory higher requirements are put forward. Dongguan Juneng New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. has accumulated cross-industry experience in battery pack structure design, heat management and BMS strategy, enabling it to perform full inspection of incoming materials, dynamic allocation at battery pack levels, active and balanced quality control process. For equipment manufacturers, it is much safer to choose a PACK partner who implements quality control according to the new battery standards from the design source than to find low-cost echelon batteries in the gray market.
