How Europe’s battery passport could have a big impact on US e-bikes
Starting February 2027, all new e-bike batteries sold in the European Union must carry a digital battery passport providing a unique digital identity and lifetime access to information about battery origins and characteristics. The regulation aims to improve battery tracking, repair, recycling and potential resale across the EU. While designed for European compliance, the requirement could influence e-bike battery standards and practices in the US market as well.
