Volvo To Issue World’s First Battery ‘Passports’ This Year, Will U.S. Govt Demand Them Soon?

Volvo says it will introduce battery passports this year, becoming first automaker to do so, report says. Passports showing origin of battery components will be mandatory in Europe from 2027. Volvo’s passport tech comes from UK startup, Circulor, which has received funding from the automaker and others, including Jaguar Land Rover.

Owners will be able to access a basic version of the passport by scanning a QR code on the driver’s door, the report says, while a more detailed version will be handed to authorities, and presumably be accessible by dealers.
