Battery Passport and DPP for Electric Mobility

The EU Batteries Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 introduces the Battery Passport, mandatory from 18 February 2027, for EV batteries (electric cars and motorcycles) and LMT batteries (e-bikes, e-scooters), regardless of capacity, and for every industrial battery above 2 kWh — including those of electrically propelled boats. MyLime provides a ready Battery Passport plus an integrated vehicle DPP, tracking cells, residual capacity and second-life use.

Regulatory framework

Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 · Battery Passport

The Batteries Regulation introduces obligations on recycled content (cobalt, lithium, nickel, lead), carbon footprint, durability and the Battery Passport, mandatory from 18 February 2027 for EV and LMT batteries, with no capacity threshold, and for industrial batteries above 2 kWh. It applies to economic operators placing batteries on the EU market.

  • 18 Feb 2027 · Battery Passport for EV, LMT (any capacity) and industrial >2 kWh batteries
  • Composition, critical raw materials, recycled content, carbon footprint
  • State of health (SoH) and expected lifetime, accessible to those entitled
  • 18 Aug 2027 · supply-chain due-diligence obligations (postponed via Regulation (EU) 2025/1561)

Why act now

18 February 2027 is close: those who don’t comply now risk being shut out of the market

From 18 February 2027, companies selling electric cars, e-bikes or e-scooters in the EU without a Battery Passport risk market-placement bans. Industry leaders are already building compliance into their 2026 lines so as not to fall behind for the 2027 season.

Use cases

What MyLime does for your industry

Six concrete applications of the Digital Product Passport, already live on brands in the industry.

  • Compliant Battery Passport

    All fields required by Regulation (EU) 2023/1542: cell composition, recycled content, footprint, capacity, SoH.

  • Integrated vehicle DPP

    Frame, battery and cycling components linked to a single digital identity. One QR code for all compliance needs.

  • Second-life use

    Batteries at end-of-life on the vehicle can be reused. The passport certifies residual capacity for stationary use.

  • Certified maintenance

    Cell replacements, BMS updates and service interventions recorded on the blockchain by the authorised centre.

  • Component anti-counterfeiting

    Motor unit, BMS, cell: every critical component has its own identifier, preventing non-original spare parts.

  • End-of-life recycling

    The recycler accesses the exact battery composition via QR, optimising the recovery of critical materials.

Industry FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the Battery Passport also mandatory for e-bikes?
Yes, for all of them. E-bike batteries are LMT (light means of transport) batteries and from 18 February 2027 must have the Battery Passport regardless of capacity. The 2 kWh threshold only applies to industrial batteries.
Does the Battery Passport only cover e-bikes, or also cars, motorcycles and boats?
It covers all of electric mobility: EV batteries (electric cars and motorcycles) and LMT batteries (e-bikes, e-scooters), with no capacity threshold, and industrial batteries above 2 kWh, including those of electrically propelled boats. SLI batteries (12V starter batteries) in combustion-engine vehicles are not subject to the passport obligation.
Do I need to work with the cell manufacturer for the data?
Yes. MyLime provides a cell-supplier onboarding workflow: composition and carbon-footprint data are imported once and propagated to every assembled battery.
How is the battery’s state of health updated in the passport?
Via API from the BMS or from diagnostics at the authorised centre. Every update is signed and immutable, building the pack’s certified history.
