Hyundai Auto Canada has chosen Lithion to collect electric vehicle batteries and modules for recycling from more than 250 Hyundai and Genesis dealers and distributors across Canada.

The multi-year agreement follows an initial agreement between the two companies signed in 2021, which was aimed at validating Lithion’s extraction technology that is designed to recover 98% of the minerals contained in batteries. 

Hyundai dealerships and Genesis distributors can now contact Lithion when they have a vehicle with a battery at the end of its lifecycle. Lithion will then have the battery delivered to its recently inaugurated recycling plant, Lithion Saint-Bruno, in Montreal.

“This partnership with Lithion allows us to ensure optimal recycling of our batteries, all while doing business with a Canadian company,” said Ken Maisonville, Executive Director of Customer Experience and Aftersales at Hyundai Auto Canada.
