Batteries first.
Everyone else
is watching.
The first mandatory passport category — and the template every other industry will copy.
Work backwards from the port.
The obligation attaches when a battery is placed on the market — not when it ships.
Not every point applies to you.
Category and date decide it — and getting that wrong costs months of chasing the wrong suppliers.
By category
A point mandatory for electric-vehicle batteries can be explicitly not-to-be-filled for light means of transport, and the reverse also happens.
By date
Several points switch on years later, on dates that differ by category. Chasing them now wastes the window you actually have.
Resolved for you
The form shows what applies today, keeps future points visible with their date, and never counts them against your readiness.
Three sources. Three timelines.
Model & batch
Chemistry, capacity, materials, footprint, certificates. Entered once. Mostly held by cell suppliers and test laboratories — this is the long pole.
Lifecycle
Repair, repurposing, status changes. Appended over years, each entry archived so the sequence stays auditable.
Per unit
State of health, cycle count, measured performance. One row per battery, arriving after the product is in use — never a form field.
Getting the number out of the pack.
Most packs show health data only to a service technician. Three ways to change that.
Files
Periodic upload from your service records. A column that does not belong is rejected, not silently accepted.
System feed
Direct from an OEM cloud or fleet platform, signed at source.
Chip bridge
For packs with no connectivity: the controller writes signed readings into an NFC chip; a phone tap reads them. No app, no pairing.
Engineering programme — bench-proven, in pilot with partners.
A missing reading answers "no data" — never a zero that reads like a claim.
One model. One batch. Six weeks.
Enough to learn exactly which suppliers will be the problem.
