Why battery passports are prioritised differently
The Batteries Regulation directly sets 18 February 2027 for LMT batteries, electric vehicle batteries and industrial batteries above 2 kWh. That makes the battery passport a concrete data and rollout path, not an abstract future ESPR topic.
The passport is not limited to public information. The Regulation distinguishes information for authorities, notified bodies and legitimate-interest actors such as repair, second-life and recycling operators.
What the battery passport project clarifies
Nulara treats the battery passport as a data product: unique battery identity, model and individual-battery information, QR access, access rights and evidence.
- Scope: Which battery types, product lines and supplier chains are affected?
- Data model: Which model, battery and use data must be separated, versioned and access-controlled?
- Evidence: Which documents support material, performance, carbon-footprint, due-diligence or recycling information?
- Operations: How are QR code, status, updates and role rights maintained through the lifecycle?
Consulting outcome
- Battery passport scope and affected product lines
- Data-field and evidence model by passport access layer
- QR, identifier and role-rights concept
- Rollout plan through productive passport publication

Battery passport consulting FAQ
- Which batteries are in focus?
- LMT batteries, electric vehicle batteries and industrial batteries above 2 kWh. Details depend on product portfolio, role and data estate.
- Is a QR code enough for a battery passport?
- No. The QR code is only the access point. Behind it must sit structured, current and role-based battery passport data.
- When should a project start?
- As soon as product lines, suppliers and data sources can be identified. Battery programs relevant for 2027 should clarify data model and evidence processes early.
