Frequently asked questions about e-bike and LMT passports
Does the battery passport requirement really apply to e-bike batteries?
Yes. LMT batteries such as those used in e-bikes, pedelecs and e-scooters are explicitly in scope from 18 February 2027.
We import batteries from China - does this affect us?
Yes, especially. Importing batteries into the EU makes you the responsible economic operator. See battery passport obligations for importers.
Do separately sold replacement batteries need their own passport?
Yes. A replacement battery newly placed on the market from 18 February 2027 needs its own battery passport.
Do already sold batteries require retrofitting?
No. The requirement applies only to batteries newly placed on the market from the deadline onward.
We have dozens of battery models - how much effort is this?
With DPP Hero, you complete the first model in a guided flow and then create variants via duplication or CSV import. Full details on the pricing page.
