In February 2027 the Digital Battery Passport becomes mandatory for EV, industrial, and light-transport batteries exceeding 2 kWh.

A regulation assessment can prevent future compliance issues

The Battery Passport is an electronic record that combines model-level facts with per-battery lifecycle data so buyers, operators, and authorities can verify compliance and compare performance over time. The required attributes can typically be grouped into static and dynamic sets and additional details on due diligence and interoperability expectations:

- Static data: product model, chemistry, manufacturer, declared carbon footprint, and material composition.
- Dynamic data: state of health, cycle count, performance indicators, and service history including repurposing and recycling events.
- Due diligence and ethical sourcing: supply-chain transparency for critical raw materials as required by Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, as amended by Regulation (EU) 2025/1561.
- Interoperability: alignment with the EU Digital Product Passport architecture and standardization work (CEN/CENELEC JTC 24) and the emerging Battery Data Space to ensure long-term cross-sector compatibility.

AVL’s Digital Battery Passport is a production-proven platform that captures model-level and unit-level battery data across the full lifecycle and turns it into operational value.
