Battery software firm Electra has introduced a new battery passport solution called EVE-Ai – EAGLE Battery Pass (European Advance Governance and Lifecycle Evaluation), which it said is designed to help companies meet and capitalise on compliance requirements.
It said its passport enables battery manufacturers, fleet operators and industry stakeholders to fulfil mandatory Battery Passport requirements while unlocking valuable battery insights that drive operational efficiency, safety and long-term sustainability.
Starting in 2027, all batteries with capacity over 2kWh entering the European Union market must include a digital record, or battery passport. It will track lifecycle data, from manufacture to end of life.
The regulation will require companies to collect, report and share standardised battery data to improve sustainability, performance and transparency.
Electra said from 2025, companies can adopt these standards “to stay ahead of the regulatory curve” and position themselves as leaders in sustainable practices.
It said the EU Battery Passport requirements divide battery data into static and dynamic fields. While static data covers basic identification and manufacturing details, dynamic data, which must be continuously updated over the battery’s life, presents a more complex challenge.
“By fully managing the critical dynamic data fields of the Battery Passport, EAGLE Battery Pass simplifies compliance and enhances transparency,” it said. “The platform automatically captures and updates battery performance metrics, enabling businesses to meet EU standards and leverage compliance for operational gains.”
Dynamic metrics collected include state of certified energy / health / charge and internal resistance, plus charge-discharge cycles for detailed logging of complete cycles to assess battery wear and support maintenance planning.
On 7 November, the Global Battery Alliance announced results of battery passport pilot schemes. It said 10 consortia, led by the world’s leading battery cell manufacturers representing 80% of the global EV market, mobilised their supply chains to successfully complete the largest pre-competitive effort to establish harmonised battery passports. Over 200 sustainability reports were gathered.
