365 days to go until the battery passport becomes mandatory
On February 18, 2027, the product passport will become mandatory for all batteries with a capacity of more than 2 kWh that are placed on the market in the EU. This also applies to electric vehicles. The passport documents the entire life cycle of an energy storage device up to recycling. The so-called state of health indicates the nominal capacity as a percentage. This makes the product passport an important document in the used car market for electric vehicles. In addition, the passport also documents material composition, carbon footprint, capacity, and manufacturing data to determine sustainability, recyclability, and residual value.
