Battery & E-Mobility Compliance Management Software

OEMs like Tesla, Volkswagen, and Stellantis are not waiting for regulation — they already require battery suppliers to provide carbon footprint data, critical mineral traceability, and recycled content evidence as conditions of supply agreements. The EU Battery Regulation (2023/1542) formalises these expectations into law: carbon footprint declarations are required from February 2025, due diligence for critical raw materials (cobalt, lithium, nickel, natural graphite) is mandatory, minimum recycled content thresholds phase in from 2031, and full Battery Passports are required for all EV and industrial batteries by 2027.

Battery compliance data is uniquely granular. Each battery model requires carbon footprint calculations accounting for cathode chemistry, cell manufacturing energy sources, and material sourcing geography. Critical mineral provenance must be traceable through smelters and refiners to mining origin. Recycled content tracking demands mass-balance accounting across material batches. And performance data — cycle life, capacity degradation, state-of-health metrics — must be accessible throughout the battery's operational life and second-use phase. This is not documentation that fits into a standard compliance template.

Sustalium organises battery compliance at the model level, with each record structured around the Battery Regulation's specific data categories: carbon footprint, material composition, critical mineral due diligence, performance parameters, and end-of-life handling. Suppliers contribute their portion of the data — cathode chemistry from cell manufacturers, energy mix from production facilities, recycled content certificates from material processors — directly into the record. The output serves double duty: it satisfies the EU regulatory requirement and produces the supply chain transparency package that OEM qualification teams evaluate during programme awards.
