The clock is ticking on EU battery compliance
The EU’s 2027 battery passport mandate is about to redefine who can - and can’t - compete in the electric vehicle market. This whitepaper explores critical steps stakeholders must take to remain competitive in the automotive industry.
February 2027 marks a turning point for the automotive industry. Every lithium-ion battery for electric vehicles entering the EU market will require a digital passport - a comprehensive data record spanning the entire lifecycle from raw material extraction to end-of-life recycling.
Make no mistake, this isn't just another regulatory checkbox. The EU Battery Regulation Amendment fundamentally reshapes how battery supply chains operate, mandating unprecedented transparency across a fragmented network of miners, refiners, manufacturers, and recyclers. Companies unprepared for this shift risk losing access to one of the world's largest automotive markets.
