From February 2027, all EV*, LMT* and industrial batteries with a capacity of more than 2kWh on the EU market will require a passport.
*EV: electric vehicles (batteries for cars) | ** LMT: light means of transport (batteries for e-bikes, e-scooter and similar)
- The manufacturer or importer is responsible for ensuring that the battery passport is implemented properly.
- The passport must contain specific information about the batteries, but also about the ESG requirements, and provide battery handling instructions for both second/third use and recycling.
