ChargeZone has announced the launch of its Battery Passport System, a digital tool that provides a comprehensive record of a battery's life cycle, offering transparent data that spans the entire life of the battery. The new system is designed to facilitate the transition from a linear to a circular economy by providing key stakeholders with clear and accessible information about the battery’s condition and performance. This initiative is expected to aid the management of EV batteries in the commercial sector, including for electric buses and trucks.
The Battery Passport System has been hailed as a major step forward in the Energy as a Service (EaaS) industry. The system will underwrite the initial battery expenses, offering commercial EV operators access to more flexible and affordable energy solutions. By offering real-time monitoring of critical battery parameters, the system will also ensure that battery packs are repurposed and recycled effectively, which is crucial to reducing waste and fostering environmental sustainability.
Initially, the system will be implemented in electric buses equipped with 200kWh battery capacity, with plans to expand its usage across the broader EV industry. Kartikey Hariyani, Founder and CEO, ChargeZone, noted that the system’s unique focus on repurposing batteries for lower duty cycle applications will differentiate ChargeZone’s offering in the market and reinforce the company's commitment to technological innovation.
Developed on the Industrial IoT 5.0 platform, the Battery Passport System ensures accuracy and security while meeting industry standards. The system not only verifies and stores battery data but also makes this information accessible for various stakeholders, including manufacturers, users, and recyclers. By adhering to legal requirements related to the disintegration of EVs into separate battery and vehicle components, the system will also streamline operations and improve efficiency across the sector.
