What to know
Will every EV on the road suddenly have a Battery Passport in 2027?
No. The obligation applies to covered batteries placed on the market or put into service under the regulation, not automatically to every existing EV.
Will the passport always show battery State of Health publicly?
Not necessarily. Access rights differ by data field and role.
