Hyundai Auto Canada selects Lithion for EV battery recycling

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.
