The Adams Administration has allocated $2 million to fund the program with the goal of providing over 400 new certified e-bikes and spare batteries through trade-ins in 2025. The trade-in program was established in response to Local Law 131 of 2023 sponsored by Council Member Keith Powers.
“Today, the City Council took a decisive step by establishing a first-in-the-nation battery trade-in program,” said Majority Leader Keith Powers. “It provides a clear, immediate pathway to get thousands of unsafe batteries out of our homes and off our streets.
Our first-in-the-nation e-bike trade-in program continues our safety work by allowing delivery workers to exchange unsafe vehicles for high quality e-bikes with certified batteries. This $2 million program is a wise investment to take dangerous mobility devices off our streets, just as we do for firearms.
The program offers trade-ins of both e-micromobility devices and lithium-ion batteries to help ensure that unsafe batteries and devices are fully removed from New York City streets, and that batteries are compatible with the devices they are powering.
“Today, the Council took decisive action to protect our communities by establishing an unprecedented trade-in program for uncertified lithium-ion batteries to reduce dangerous fires caused by those that don't meet safety standards,” said Speaker Adrienne Adams.
Lead-acid batteries are the most common type accepted for core charge transactions. They are used primarily in vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles. According to the Battery Council International (BCI), over 90% of lead-acid batteries are recycled. This high recycling rate makes them a popular choice for core charge policies.
By swapping these illegal devices for UL-certified e-bikes and batteries, the program will reduce fire and crash risks, help participants comply with local and state laws, and encourage workers to utilize cleaner and greener forms of e-mobility for deliveries.
Starting 1 April 2026, value-added tax (VAT) export rebates for photovoltaic (PV) products and certain other categories will be abolished. They said the decision could trigger a short-term surge in overseas orders ahead of the deadline, but would ultimately. China announced on Friday that it will change export tax rebates for a range of products, including photovoltaic and battery products. The announcement, jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation Administration, said that export tax rebates for the value added tax of. China's Ministry of Finance (MOF) has announced the country will cancel export tax rebates for photovoltaic (PV) products and phosphorus chemicals starting April, and a phased elimination of export tax rebates for batteries over two years, marking a significant policy shift aimed at promoting. On 9 January 2026, China's Ministry of Finance announced a significant adjustment to its export tax rebate policy. This follows a prior reduction from 13% to 9% in December 2024. For battery products, such as lithium-ion batteries.

A PV cell is essentially a large-area p–n semiconductor junction that captures the energy from photons to create electrical energy. At the semiconductor level, the p–n junction creates a depletion region with an electri. The basic structure of a PV cell can be broken down and modeled as basic electrical components. Figure 4 shows the semiconductor p–n junction and the various components that. While there are many environmental factors that affect the operating characteristics of a PV cell and its power generation, the two main factors are solar irradiance G, measured in W/. The I–V curve of a PV cellis shown in Figure 6. The star indicates the maximum power point (MPP) of the I–V curve, where the PV will produce its maximum power. Based on the I–V curve of a PV cell or panel, the power–voltage curve can be calculated. The power–voltage curve for the I–V curve shown in Figure 6 is obtained as given in Figure 7.
