Abstract
The recycling and reuse of used power batteries not only contribute to resource conservation and environmental protection, but also play a crucial role in to promoting the sustainable development of the electric vehicle industry. This paper investigates the recycling strategies and cooperation mechanism design of waste power batteries considering recycling regulation policy. By using game theory, we construct a dynamic game model between an electric vehicle manufacturer and a dealer to examine the impacts of recycling regulation on the decisions and profits of the electric vehicle supply chain, consumer surplus, environmental performance, and social welfare. The following findings are obtained. (1) When the mandatory recycling rate is low, the recycling regulation benefits electric vehicle supply chain members and system, consumers, and the environment. However, when the mandatory recycling rate is high, recycling regulation is beneficial for improving the profitability of the electric vehicle manufacturers, supply chain systems, and social welfare if the government’s per-unit recycling subsidy is high. (2) The electric vehicle manufacturer is more likely to benefit from recycling regulation when the marginal revenue from secondary utilization exceeds the unit cost savings from recycling. (3) Implementing a cost-sharing contract can concurrently enhance the profits of channel members, environmental performance, and social welfare when the mandatory recycling rate is low.
