Due to the rapid growth in sales of electric vehicles, the issue of handling their used batteries, which contain toxic substances and without proper disposal can cause significant damage to the environment, becomes extremely important. The purpose of this article is to study the potential of Ukrainian used electrocar batteries management system in the context of the circular economy.
The article analyses the dynamics of electrocar market development in Ukraine in the period from 2012 to 2019. With the help of an exponential smoothing algorithm using Microsoft Excel table processor the domestic market of electric transport fill forecast for the next years was made. The forecast results were adjusted for the car market recession caused by the economic crisis due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In the course of the research, the experience of the world's leading countries on the issues of handling used electric car batteries was studied, in particular, approaches to legislative regulation of the problem and opportunities for reuse of car batteries with used resource were considered. Emphasis was placed on the fact that modern technology development creates conditions for economic, social and environmental benefits that can be achieved through recycling of used batteries. The economic benefits of recycling Ukrainian electric automotive batteries, which have exhausted their resource was calculated. Еxpedient to reorient the existing methods of used electrocar batteries management system on the principles of circular economy can provide not only improvement of ecological situation in Ukraine, but also lead to its economic growth and welfare of the population was proved.
Key words: circular economy, electrocar, forecast, recycling, used accumulator battery.
