**Original:** A higher market penetration implies that formal recycling outlets are more widely available, allowing consumers to choose them for battery recycling conveniently. The shortage of formal recycling outlets has consistently been a significant obstacle to the recycling of retired EV batteries in China, with statistics indicating that the market share of formal recycling outlets is currently less than 25% (Li et al., 2023). Therefore, the government and enterprises should focus on promoting more formal recycling outlets and, simultaneously, publicizing Group 1 users to increase the amount of recycling from formal recycling outlets.
